william hague said that their presence not necessarily a sign of success. >> they're not here becausets finished. they're here because it's difficult. and it will remain difficult. there are narrow gaps and there are important gaps. it is important that the agreement is thorough, detailed, comprehensive, and a deal in which we can all, the whole world can have confidence that it will work and it would be observed. >> joining us live in geneva despite william hague's denial that deal has been done. the heavy diplomatic moving to geneva, some rushed there. there must be speculation that some kind of landmark deal is in the pipeline? >> reporter: it's impossible to escape that kind of speculation, it's impossible to escape speculation on all sorts of levels. we're in the realm of making something of every single development that takes place in thes absence of concrete information. the latest development may an significant one, that is katherine ashton, e.u. commissioner on foreign policy has been coordinating these talks and briefing the p5+1 ministers, including secretary of state john

william hague will discuss the nuclear deal. >> i reported to the house on the negotiations in genevai explained then that iran was to produce a first step agreement. we could create the confidence for a comprehensive settlement, addressing all concerns about the nuclear program. we have always been clear that because iran's program is so extensive and crucial aspects have been concealed in the past, any agreement would have to be detailed and give assurance to the whole world that the price would be properly addressed. we believe that such a deal was on the table. we would do our utmost to bridge the narrow gap between the party and conclude a strong agreement. on wednesday last week, the iranian negotiations resumed their work in geneva. on saturday morning, i joined the talks. at 4:00 yesterday, we concluded the negotiations successfully. we agreed on a first stage agreement, which is a significant step toward enhancing the security of the middle east and preventing nuclear proliferation worldwide. in this statement, i will cover the extensive commitments that iran has made and the

speaking a short time ago the british foreign secretary william hague said that the talks were going very well, there was a different atmosphere from previous negotiations with the iranians, but he added that it may not be possible to get a deal on-saturday and it may be they have to come back to geneva at a future date, but said it was possible that maybe they could get a deal. when you look on the other side - you'll have to listen to the french foreign minister, laurent fabius, who gave a radio interview. he said there's a draft on the table. as the draft stands france can't accept it. he raised two areas. he talked about the heavy water reactor that iran is building at arak and the stockpile of uranium that iran has enriched to the 20% level. he's not happy with the arrangements of what is going to happen to that in the draft, which i add we haven't seen. is it that there's a disagreement amongst the international powers. that's not clear. it's possible - i'm delving into realms of speculation - that they decided one country should take a tougher line, perhaps one is playing good

william hague says only minor differences separate two sides.e delivered an update in the house of commons. he briefed members that ended over the weekend. >> an agreement has to be clear and detailed, cover all aspects of iran's program and give assurance to the whole world that the threat of nuclear proliferation in iran is fully addressed. such a deal is on the table. and there is no doubt in my mind that it can be reached. >> negotiators discussed an interim deal to limit the iranian's program of uranium en ri richment but failed to reach a deal. also making moves to approve bilateral ties. it's first step toward re-opening their embassies. in 2011, protesters angry about western sanctions attacked the british embassy in tehran. both sides responded by closing their respective embassies. >>> the iranians have also been talking with the head of the international atomic energy agency. they've agreed on a framework for allowing inspectors to visit nuclear facilities. iaea chief yamano met with salehi, the head of the atomic energy organization.

as william hague has said with this being such an important issue there is a need to keep up the pace. >> real momentum has built up and there is concentration on these negotiations. so we have to do everything we can to seize the moment and seize the opportunity to reach a deal that has eluded the world. the world has been unable to reach for a very long time. now here at the press center we are seeing an awful lot of activity and apparent preparation for some sort of press conference. so something is emanant here in gentlemen knee have, whether or not it will be the long expected hoped for agreement, it looks like major momentum on the ground. >> so to be clear we don't necessarily think this is going to go into a fourth day, but we think that they may regroup in a week's time, right? >> yes, that's right. we've not heard a lot coming from behind closed doors but we heard the french foreign minister coming out saying what appears to be the sticking points, and that is a heavy water plant called iraq in iran that is near completion. and the western powers don't want to see it complet

william hague said this is not an easy process, and it is far from a done deal. >> we're not here because they're finished. they're here because it's difficult, and it remains difficult. there are narrow gaps but they are important gaps. it's important that any agreement is thundershower row, detailed, comprehensive, and that it is a deal in which we can all, and the whole world can have confidence that it will work, and it will be observed. >> reporter: and that's just the thing. they don't just want a deal here in geneva. they want a dole that will work. apparently there are some very strong sticking points. while they may be on the one yard line they're not in the end zone, yet. >> tell us what these sticking points are, what these gaps are in. >> reporter: well, the gaps as we understand them are primarily at least on the p5+1 side of things two issues. that is the heavy water nuclear plant in a place called iraq in iran. that can produce by-product plutonium is a grave concern to the international community because that could easily be used in a weapons program. there is an outstandi

simple,visit to a britain's foreign minister, william hague, raised the opportunity of an interim agreement. >> this is an historic opportunity to build agreement on how to curb nuclear proliferation in the middle east, and potentially to set our relations with iran on a different path. it is the best chance for a long time to make progress on one of the gravest problems in foreign policy. >> for a decade, that problem has defeated teams of negotiators. diplomats here have two more days to see if they can draft a deal for a first step. james reynolds, bbc news, geneva. >> for more on the negotiations, i spoke a short time ago to robin wright of the u.s. institute of peace. thanks so much for joining us. iran says it once nuclear energy, but just to generate electricity, not to make a bomb. is that acceptable to the west? >> it is enriching uranium to a capacity that is more than necessary for basic nuclear energy. a lot of issues, a lot of doubt, a lot of suspicions. but this is arguably the most helpful negotiation between iran and the six major powers, not only in a decade, but maybe sinc

william hague says only minor differences separate the two sides. hague delivered an update in the house of commons. he briefed members on talks in geneva that ended over the weekend. >> an agreement has to be clear and detailed, cover all aspects of iran's program and give assurance to the whole world that the threat of nuclear proliferation in iran is fully addressed. such a deal is on the table, and there's no doubt in my mind that it can be reached. >> negotiators discussed an interim deal to limit the iranians' program of uranium enrichment, but they failed to reach a deal. u.s. secretary treasury jack lew has also spoke about the prospects of reaching an agreement with iran. >> i think that the challenge of getting a high quality agreement there is a high one, and we're going to push very hard to get a successful conclusion, because it would be a good thing for the world if there can be an agreement that gives time for final negotiation to be completed. >> lew said he's looking forward to the outcome of the next round of talks scheduled for we

britain's foreign secretary william hague says it could send a message to iran, warning what will happenf a deal is not reached. >> it's important for the iranian authorities to understand that the pressure will be there for greater sanctions or intensivication of sanctions unless an agreement is reached on the matters. >> reporter: the six world powers are expressing confidence that a deal will be reached in months. at the same time saying france is not to blame for the failed weekend negotiations. iran, they say, was not ready to take the deal - an allegation the iranians deny. iran, which has insisted its program is for peaceful purposes signed a deal with the head of the atomic head agency to open more facilities for inspection. >> iran and iada will cooperate with activities to be undertaken to resolve all present and past issues. >> diplomatic moves meant to send a message, to calm fears and bide time, even if some allies don't like what they are talking about. >>> talked about the blame game before. iran's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif's reacted to john kerry's remarks ove

forward to november the twentieth when they still will be seeing we've heard foreign secretary william hague saying that he's confident that further progress will be made on a correspondence or a fourth right than barbara slavin an iran expert or she believes the u.s. secretary of state john kerry's latest statement about a united front with france is simply a diplomatic maneuver to reduce tensions in the west and come. john kerry is generally quite diplomatic and he wants a deal and if it's france that's in the way he's not going to go out and publicly critic criticize the french he's going to work behind the scenes to try to convince them to sign on now 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'

careful not to confirm anything and to highlight the fact that there are still issues to be overcome william hague the british foreign minister came out this morning and said that they have to seize the moment in trying to clinch an elusive deal that would have the most skeptical tone cast among the a foreign ministers here was coming from france where. that should any agreement reached at the during these talks that the concerns of israel have to be taken into consideration they were very skeptical in giving those statements however that doesn't mean that there isn't any room for maneuver and was far as israel is concerned benjamin netanyahu the premier had expressed explicitly his discomfort at the talks going on here he said he warned that should any deal do you reach that iran would be getting a very good deal without giving up much and that if a deal is reached israel is not going to be bound by it and that it will still make sure that its security priority let's listen to what a big human that's in yahoo had to say the wrong. tree. aim of the talks is really to come up with a roadmap that ve

taking part in peace talks you into the vet this morning we heard from the uk foreign minister william hague was talking about having to seize the moment to cling to this elusive deal of what has been waiting for a lover. he also was careful to say and it's right that there still isn't done deal at the moment. now we've also heard from the us us has been talking about having to narrow the gaps in terms of the issues that divide the embellishments on the tv cabinet having said that peace talks offer an opportunity to make real progress on again to conduct some optimism out there but careful not to get hopes too high of one of the country's though involved in the talks and tend to be going against the flow would probably be found said the french foreign minister notified he said already sad that that is mainly concerns come to be taken into consideration when coming up with an agreement with jake this morning was ask the same question that he intended seventeen would rather not common basically said you have to wait for conclusion to the week before any reaction to an agreement she beat me but

and other partners did hear words for example from the a british foreign minister william hague saying that they should seize the moment in order to reach a deal that it looted the world for a long time those are quite quite positive words that we heard the u.s. talking about narrowing gaps when it came to issues well as it stands right now the talks continue and there are suggestions from the ringin delegation that there could be a resumption of the talks in about two weeks time. let's not discuss what could be behind france's alleged resistance to an iran deal with political analyst diana johnston she's joining us live now from france are you surprised at this paris which is appearing to be hindering this way to deal with the role. well i mean i am i'm surprised but then i think i'd be because it's the thing with the with the kind of line that the. government in. syria that is if you've been following what we call the next line in there in the lead and so i think this is the second this is that although it's not consistent with any biological sense is the mantra you know what all tha

foreign secretary william hague saying that he is confident that 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 an agreement and john kerry says it was iran that rejected the deal something to iran has denied but how do you choose a kind of britain's parliamentary group on global security and nonproliferation says there's no point in playing the 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 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 atmosphere around the resume talks on the twentieth of november on monday iran agreed to let the u.n. a nuclear watchdog have broader access to its atomic facilities we spoke to barbar

foreign secretary william hague saying that he is confident that further progress will be made the u.s. is blamed or wrong for rejecting a deal at last weekend's talks something to ron has denied john kerry insists major powers were more or less united on the green despite earlier claims that it was the french who blocked a breakthrough when i spoke to were jonathan steele is a common the storm international affairs for the guardian newspaper and he explained to me what he sees as the reasons behind france's tough stance. francis convince to do ronnie's meddling in a region which was traditionally at least in colonial times under french influence i mean syria and lebanon and they feel they took a very hawkish line against bashar al assad the president of syria when the uprising began two years ago they thought he would be toppled quickly and they feel that it's really thanks to russia diplomatically and iran militarily that assad is still there and they feel very annoyed angry over that and the second reason i think is quite simply money they see that saudi arabia is also having a row

william hague. seize the moment and trying to come up with a very elusive deal but in the end indeed there is no deal that has been reached but again talks will be rescheduled november the twentieth right and everybody waits for the next round. live for us in geneva thanks very much for that update. well despite the turmoil in many post arab spring states chinese investors still doing brisk business in the middle east and north africa well u.s. and european investors seem to stay on the sidelines beijing's businessmen are taking these countries by economic storm as artie's belcher reports even crisis rocked egypt there are opportunities to be found. this is north cairo where egypt's burgeoning chinatown has now planted its roots restaurant owner. says the chinese community here is thriving despite the political turmoil. most chinese come here for study were to call you muslim chinese minorities i opened my restaurant recently i know the political situation here is difficult but it doesn't affect chi

country doesn't have to go along with the deal has got short shrift from britain's top diplomat william hague has warned benjamin netanyahu against undermining what was achieved in geneva . of course we would discourage anybody in the world including israel from taking any steps that would undermine this agreement time we will move very clear to all comes this also very important to explain to them to ask them what the alternative to this agreement would be because the alternatives would involve iran getting to a nuclear weapons threshold capability or having a nuclear weapon or a conflict with iran or all of those meanwhile benjamin netanyahu is hard line stance on iran isn't winning him much support at home either his refusal to budge has sparked angry reactions in israel's media some commentators suggest his harsh words were prompted by a sense of personal failure accusing him of behaving oddly in the international arena the liberal haaretz newspaper questioned their prime minister's diplomacy calling it in your in your face bellyaching israeli national security expert says netanyahu is ha

and other partners did hear words for example from v a british foreign minister william hague saying that they should seize the moment in order to reach a deal that it wouldn't the world for a long time those are quite quite positive words that we heard the u.s. talking about narrowing gaps when it came to issues well as it stands right now the talks continue and there are suggestions from the reigning delegation that there could be a resumption of the talks in about two weeks time and roman holiday a journalist and political analyst based in strasburg says france's position on the deal is dictated by the interests of all the players. but they seemed to take an extreme position all the time and there are a number of reasons for this the first is that they are playing good cop bad cop with the americans obama is suddenly being much more reasonable in his attitude with the iranians the french are out there on the flank saying oh you must agree too easily israel must be protected and so on and in a sense that if you like. playing the game with the americans so that they could charge mor

plus one and iran ok mr levin if we can just pause for a second the british foreign secretary william hague had something to say today about how he perceives the israeli position is just listening to that for a second this by thirty seconds will come straight back. of course we would discourage anybody in the world including israel from taking any steps that would undermine this agreement and we will make that very clear to all concerned it's also very important to explain to them to ask them what the alternative to this agreement would be because the alternatives would involve iran getting two nuclear weapons try show capability or having a nuclear weapon or a conflict with iran or all of those do you not at all see or agree with his thread to the argument there. well kevin to be candid i find this statement as a little bit harsh even harsh a statement and it is inappropriate probably while he is directing his words to work a country israel who has genuine concern and exile i think that we should be more comprehensive and for understandable about the israeli position because finally we hav

you know william hague saying that they seize the moment and trying to come up with a very elusive deal but in the end indeed there is no deal that has been reached but again talks will be rescheduled november the twentieth. now some of the main sticking points on the table were tyrone's weapons grade nuclear fuel stockpiles of enriched uranium and sanctions relief let's take a closer look at the deal negotiators were attempting to put together here on our let's have a look around here first according to some sources the six world powers want iran to stop all activities to or enrich uranium and iran would also be obliged to limit the number of centrifuges that uses under monitoring over its facilities in return powers or world powers would unfreeze some of iran's assets perhaps in foreign banks and maybe that have been a crippling the country's economy earlier we talked to cover. a former advisor to iran's nuclear negotiation team you think is that despite the french resistance tehran has actually played its one very well. it was the singular contribution of the french government to thr

the us and other partners to get a few words for example from the hit british foreign minister william hague say that we be sure the scenes at the moment is ordered to complete the letter to the world for a long time was up quite like pasta before as a beacon for the yule class and talk about an hour we kept the key issues class and status right now the talks continue with their suggestions from leading a delegation that there could be easier for the reception of the talks in about two weeks time. robert r knight a journalist and political analyst based in stroudsburg things france's position on a deal to be influenced by the interests of other players. they see take an extreme position. lulu time and the veteran of the reasons for this the first is that they are playing good cop bad cop with the americans who bought myself a b much reasonable and is executed the arabian said the fracture out there on the flank saying oh you must agree to these and the israel must be protected the top of the descents that said if you like it. letting the cat had said that they could stop these facts couple o

john kerry and william hague are expected to join the foreign ministers had that have already gathered in geneva and certainly a sense that a deal is imminent we've had security beefed up around the intercontinental hotel that's just behind me yesterday we were reporting from right outside of it today we've had to be pushed back and we are here with the russian delegation normally that affords you extra access an extra information but these talks have been shrouded this time around in a must say of degree kristie the negotiations taking place behind closed doors and that generalizations are extremely wary of any leaks coming through into the media before pen is put to paper and that deal is signed but we have heard from a chinese official that the talks all entering the final moments and certainly all the signs pointing to that we've had to progress on not sticking points that we've been talking about for the past two days of iran's insistence on the recognition of its right for your a medium enrichment apparently that's been overcome in the draft of the agreement we know that coming i

and other partners did hear words for example from the a british foreign minister william hague saying that they should seize the moment in order to reach a deal that it wouldn't the world for a long time those are quite quite positive words that we heard the u.s. talking about narrowing gaps when it came to issues well as it stands right now the talks continue and there are suggestions from the reigning delegation that there could be a resumption of the talks in about two weeks time. silly then i want to discuss the obstacles in the ongoing talks i'm now joined live from tehran by a bus general director of the international for the bronze fars news agency now iranian lawmaker saying france is black mailing what could they possibly mean by using that word blackmail. by the time. talking to you in turns to talk about the iranian nuclear program has been going on in general the iranian negotiators and the iranian foreign minister as well as the members of the p five plus one but no deal has been reached now but the news that we get from the diplomats of us and diplomats which is reported
