is Iran finally agrees to limit its nuclear programme in exchange for an | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
easing of sanctions. The landmark agreement is reached in Geneva but | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
it is only the six months. These are substantial limitations. It will | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
help prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapons. Simply put, they | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
cut Iran's most likely path to a bomb. | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
It's the first breakthrough in a ten-year stand off, but Israel | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
condemns it as an "historic mistake". | :00:33. | :00:35. | |

After four days of negotiation and a decade of wrangling, a deal has been | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
reached over Iran's controversial nuclear programme. . President Obama | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
said the West had secured "substantial limitations" to prevent | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
Iran from building a nuclear weapon. Iran's President described the | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
agreement as comprehensive. But the deal is only the six months and | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
Israel has been highly critical. Here's what's been agreed. | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
Iran will neutralise its stockpile of near 20% enriched uranium, the | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
base level for a crude nuclear weapon. | :01:47. | :01:47. | |
It's also promised to stop enriching uranium beyond 5%, the level it can | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
be used for weapons research. In return, there will be no new | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
nuclear-related sanctions for six months. This report from our Tehran | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
Correspondent James Reynolds contains some flash photography. | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
Iran wants to be treated as an equal, not an outcast. At 3am, in | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
Geneva, it began to reach its goal. Iran's Foreign Minister, Javad | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
Zarif, signed his country's most important agreement with world | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
powers in a decade. Even the negotiators wanted to celebrate. | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
Here, they invite the EU's Catherine Ashton to celebrate. Javad Zarif | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
even manages a half hug with the French Foreign Minister, and early | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
sceptic of the deal. He seems to enjoy himself in Geneva. The | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
temporary deal he takes back home gives Iran sanctions relief and | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
allows him to continue enriching uranium to a certain level. We | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
believe that the current agreement, the current plan of action as we | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
call it, into distinct places, has a very clear reference to the fact | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
that uranium enrichment programmes will continue and will be a part of | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
any agreement, now and in the future. For the next six months, | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
Iran's nuclear programme will have official limits. The restrictions | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
are designed to make it much harder for Iran to make an actual nuclear | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
weapons, and ambition its government always denies. These are substantial | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
limitations which will help prevent Iran from building a nuclear | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
weapons. Simply put, they cut Iran's most likely path to a bomb. | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
But this does not reassure Israel. This morning in Jerusalem, its Prime | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, accused the world powers of making a | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
bad deal. What was concluded in Geneva last night is not an historic | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
agreement, it is an historic mistake. It has not made the world a | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
safer place. We cannot and will not allow a regime that calls for the | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
destruction of Israel to obtain the means to achieve this goal. It may | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
be that the deal was reached here in the city because the US and Iran had | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
their own secret back channel. And it proves an important point, the | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
nuclear agreement is largely about Iran and the United States | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
overcoming their own three decades of mistrust. | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
As you were hearing, the United States and Iran are said to have | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
engaged in months of secret, high-level negotiations that paved | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
the way for the deal in Geneva. Our world affairs correspondent Mike | :04:48. | :04:48. | |
Wooldridge examines the background to the agreement. There is some | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
flash photography in this report as well. | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
The relationship between Iran and the West has been dominated for | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
years by one issue, whether Iran is or is not seeking to develop nuclear | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
weapons, and the suspicions about how much it might have hidden from | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
the weapons inspectors. In public, September's 15 minute phone | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
conversation between President Obama and the newly elected president | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Hassan Rouhani rose the potential to end this seemingly intractable | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
dispute. But it now emerges that behind the scenes, the US and Iran | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
have been engaged in secret face-to-face talks about the | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
controversial nuclear facilities and the sanctions for months in Iran and | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
elsewhere. A high-stakes diplomatic gamble. And this afternoon, in | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
London, the emphasis was on the challenges ahead. Now the really | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
hard part begins and that is the effort to get the comprehensive | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
agreement, which will require enormous steps in terms of | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
verification, transparency and accountability. It is a good deal, | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
it is a good deal for the Middle East and for the world. It is a very | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
important opportunity for the future and I think it vindicates the policy | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
of pressure through sanctions. It was a key part of Hassan Rouhani's | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
election platform that his government would ease the lives of | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
Iranians in its first 100 days. Almost on target, he is now claiming | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
that is what the Geneva deal will deliver. | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
TRANSLATION: Through implementing this agreement, the regime of | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
sanctions will be broken, whether others like it or not. Cracks have | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
been made in the sanctions regime. There is another task, convincing | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
the sceptics that Iran will not end up still potentially able to produce | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
nuclear weapons. Israel is not alone. Saudi Arabia and most Iran's | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
Arab neighbours are also uneasy. To pull it off may require even more | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
intense diplomacy. Tighter controls on the benefits | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
that can be claimed by new EU migrants are being considered by the | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
Government. David Cameron wants to ensure that new immigrants spend | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
longer in the country before they can access any benefits, which could | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
put him at odds with the EU. Our political correspondent Vicki Young | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
is with me now. Talk through the steps being considered. It is about | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
the restrictions being lifted on Romanians and Bulgarians, lifted | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
from the 1st of January and to some extent, the Tories are responding to | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
some public anxiety about what the impact would be. The UK cannot stop | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
those people coming here but they are looking at a change in the | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
benefits. At the moment, you have to be here for just three months before | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
you can qualify for certain benefits and that could be extended to up to | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
a year. The Liberal Democrats have already expressed concerns, saying | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
it would put us at odds with Brussels, which they don't want to | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
happen and that EU rules say countries are to treat migrants in | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
the same way as their own citizens. The Lib Dems wanted to be agreed | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
across the EU and point out that most migrants to the UK do work and | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
contribute to the economy. More than 11,000 children have been | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
killed in the conflict in Syria since 2011, according to a new | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
report which examines the extent of human suffering there. The Oxford | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
Research Group says many children have been targeted by snipers, while | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
others have suffered torture. You may find some of the images in Lyse | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
Doucet's report disturbing. This northern area of Aleppo is | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
where the most Syrian children have died. It is a war where the youngest | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
are not just caught in crossfire, they are targeted, even tortured. | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
This report is an effort to establish how and where Syria's | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
children are dying. The vast majority, it says, were killed by | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
bombs or shells in their own neighbourhood. But many were singled | :08:47. | :08:56. | |
out. 389 cases of sniper fire. 764 summary executions. And it found 112 | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
recorded death by torture. Some were just infants. But most were teenage | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
boys. The report says they are at greatest risk. Here at in the | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
streets and old enough to fight --they are ahead in the streets. The | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
report suggests these figures are incomplete, access is impossible in | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
some areas, but it still highlights the horrors. Children are targeted | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
because it destroys a community, it destroys family. When you know your | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
child has been tortured, murdered, brutalised, you lose the will to | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
live. The world took notice during the chemical weapons attacks in | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
Damascus suburbs in August, but it did not stop the War, this war on | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
childhood. Across this region, Syria's children face an uncertain | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
future. This report is also a plea to all sides in this conflict to | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
spare the most vulnerable and it calls for the threat of prosecutions | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
against those who continue to commit the worst of atrocities in a war | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
that just keeps getting worse. The Business Secretary, Vince Cable, | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
has passed evidence of Royal Bank of Scotland's treatment of small | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
businesses to City regulators. The lender is facing a series of | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
allegations over its handling of small businesses, but it says it is | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
already committed to an inquiry into its practices. An adviser to Vince | :10:19. | :10:28. | |
Cable has compiled a report which accuses RBS of driving some | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
companies into liquidation to seize their assets. | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
With all the sport, now, here's Lizzie Greenwood Hughes at the BBC | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
Sport Centre. Hello, thank you very much. The | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
Ashes series is fast turning into an ugly battle both on and off the | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
pitch. England were beaten by Australia in the opening test with a | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
day to spare, 381 runs was the margin of victory, home side. But | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
despite their win, there has been no letup with Australia's war of words. | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
This is an image that will linger from Brisbane, Australia's captain | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
in the face of England's James Anderson. But even if on field | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
Banton strays into talk of breaking bones and both sides accepted, | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
England can accept they were utterly outplayed. Bowled out for 179 in | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
their second innings for a crushing defeat. What a troubled Alastair | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
Cook were earlier comments from David Warner suggesting England and | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
Jonathan Trott was scared. The comment by David Warner was pretty | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
disrespectful to any professional cricketer, really. On the pitch, it | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
is pretty much war, isn't it, anyway? There will always be a few | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
words, that is the way people want to watch cricket being played, tough | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
and hard. On the pitch is fine. Cook's own batting contribution was | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
England's only real resistance, the only man to make a half-century. | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
England had promised to fight even in pursuit of certain defeat, but | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
when he was out after a rain delay, the game was quickly. Nathan Lyons' | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
spin was too much of him and for Matthew prior, who suddenly seems to | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
have lost form. Mitchell Johnson was tearing in at 90 mph and England | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
held their bats like candles in a gale. There is a fearsome fast | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
bowler to content with the rest of this series. But the captain | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
defended the way his team operates. There is always banter on the field | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
between England and Australia, teams that play tough and hard fought | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
cricket on the field. I still believe there is a mutual respect | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
off the field. Cyanide fell on the test match -- so night fell on the | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
test match with the atmosphere more toxic than ever. These teams know | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
each other very well and perhaps as a consequence, they don't like each | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
other very much. There have been plenty of goals in | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
today's two Premier League matches. Manchester City put six past | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
Tottenham in a game the Spurs manager later said his side should | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
be a ashamed of. Jesus Navas scored after 14 seconds and completed the | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
scoring in injury time, 6-0. They go above Manchester United, who were | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
held to a 2-2 draw in Cardiff, came within injury time equaliser. | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
Ireland were denied their first-ever victory over New Zealand, conceding | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
a last-gasp try in Dublin, having led the final Autumn International | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
for almost the whole match. They were beaten 24-22 by a New Zealand | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
try and conversion in added time. The All Blacks are now the first | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
side in rugby union's professional era to go a whole year unbeaten. And | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
Formula One's Sebastian Vettel has rounded up another commanding season | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
with a record equalling ninth successive Grand Prix win, this time | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
in Brazil. The German's Red Bull team-mate Mark | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
Webber was second in his last ever Grand Prix. And that is the sport. | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
Thanks very much indeed. There is more throughout the evening on the | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
BBC News Channel and we are back with the late | :14:14. | :14:14. |
