Tonight at ten, a landmark deal with Iran over the future of its nuclear | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
programme. There is leaf in Geneva as the ten year deadlock is broken, | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
but the agreement is only for six months. These are substantial | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
limitation, which will help prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
Simply put, they cut off Iran's most likely paths to a bomb. | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
Iran will curb its nuclear active the, the west will ease sanction, | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Israel calls it a misfor rick mistake. We will have leave reaction | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
from Washington. Also in the programme. The Government is accused | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
of interference by favouring the Co-op bid to buy part of Lloyds | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
Banking Group. Syria's Civil War has claimed 11,000 children, the latest | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
findings suggest may have been tortured. | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
And defeat for England in the first Ashes Test to Australia, after | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
another battle collapse. -- batting collapse. | :01:02. | :01:17. | |
Good evening. After four days negotiation and a decade of | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
wrangling, a landmark deal has been reached with Iran. The country's | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
promised to curb its nuclear programme, the west has promised to | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
ease some sanctions in exchange. The US says it will make the Middle East | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
a safer place but Israel says it a mistake, here is what has been | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
greed. Iran will neutralise its stockpile of enriched uranium. It is | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
promised to stop enriching uranium beyond 5%, the level it can be used | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
for weapons research. In return, there will be no new nuclear related | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
sanctions for six months. This report from our Tehran correspondent | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
contains flash photography. Iran, wants to be treated as a an equal. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Not an outcast. At three in the morning in Geneva, | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
it began to reach its goal. Iran's foreign minutester Javad | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Zarif signed his country's most important agreement with world | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
powers in a decade. Iranian negotiators wanted to | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
celebrate. Here, they invite the EU's Catherine | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
Ashton to join their group photo. Javad Zarif manages a half hug with | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
France's Foreign Minister, an early sceptic of a deal. | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
Javad Zarif seemed to enjoy himself in Geneva. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
The temporary deal he takes back home gives Iran's sanctions leaf and | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
allows it to continue enriching uranium to a low level. | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
We believe that the current agreement, the current plan of | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
action as we call it, intwo distinct places, has a very clear reference | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
to the fact that Iranian enrichment programme will continue and will be | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
a part of any agreement. Now and in future. For the next six month, | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
Iran's nuclear programme will have official limits. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
The restrictions are designed to make it much harder for Iran to make | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
an accuse shul nuclear weapon. An ambition its Government denies. | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
These are substantial limitations which will help Superintendent Iran | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
from building a nuclear weapon. Simply put, they cut off Iran's most | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
likely paths to a bomb. But this doesn't reassure Israel. | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
This morning, in Jerusalem the Prime Minister Netanyahu accused the world | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
powers of making a bad deal. What was concluded in Geneva last | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
night is not an historic agreement. It is an historic mistake. It is not | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
made the world a safer place. We cannot and will not allow a regime | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
that calls for the destruction of Israel, to obtain the means to | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
achieve this goal. It may be that the deal was reached | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
here in this city, because the US and Iran had their own secret back | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
channel. It proves an important point. The nuclear agreement is | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
largely about Iran, and the United States, overcoming their own three | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
decades of mistrust. So as you were hearing the US and | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
Iran are said to have engaged in months of secret high level | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
negotiations, that paved the way for the deal in Geneva. Our world | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
affairs correspondent examines the background to the agreement. His | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
report contained flash photography. In public this 15 minute phone | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
conversation in September between President Obama and Iran's newly | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
elected President Hassan Rouhani raised the hope that progress might | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
be possible towards ending the seemingly intractable nuclear | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
dispute between Iran and the west. But it merges behind the scene, the | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
US and Iran have been engaged for months in secret, face to face talk, | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
about the controversial nuclear facilities and sanctions. | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
A key channel has been the Gulf state of Oman, which earlier helped | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
in bringing about the release of these three American hiker, who were | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
detained in Iran. But it has been a high stakes diplomatic gamble. | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
And this afternoon, in London, now, the emphasis was on the challenges | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
ahead. Now the really hard part begin, and that is the effort to get | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
the comprehensive agreement, which will require enormous steps, in | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
terms of verification, transparency and Ku accountability. As a good | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
deal, it a good deal for the Middle East, and for the world, it is a | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
very important opportunity for the future and I think it vindicates the | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
policy of pressure through sanctions. | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
But it was an important part of Hassan Rouhani's election platform | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
his Government would ease the lives of Iranians in its first 100 | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
dayings, almost on target he claims that is what the Geneva deal will | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
deliver. Through implementing this agreement the regime of sanctions | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
will be broken. Cracks have been made in the regime. There is | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
anothers task, convincing the sceptics Iran will not end up able | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
to produce nuclear weapons, Israel is is not alone. Saudi Arabia and | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
most of Iran's Arab neighbours are uneasy too. To pull it off may | :06:44. | :06:52. | |
require even more intense diplomacy. Our North America editor join us | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
now. How important is this to America and Obama? Very important | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
indeed. It has loomed across his entire presidency, this question of | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
what to do about Iran. On one hand his promise they will never get the | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
bomb, on the other hand, his desire not to get into a conflict in this | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
region, that the country is war weary, it I don't want it. This is | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
possibly a way of squaring the circle, but there are huge | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
difficulties, the distaste for the deal in Israel, it is really | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
important. President Obama has just spoken to the Israeli Prime | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
Minister, he says he understands Israel's scepticism, he will still | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
sure they will not allow Iran to get the bomb. They will have talks to | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
make sure they are on the same page about this. As soon as the Ray -- | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
Israeli Government is worried. Politicians in America are | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
concerned. So they are saying as well, this is not the right time to | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
lift sanction, indeed some are saying we want new, fresh sanction, | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
and the White House has said if they do that it could derail the deal. So | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
President Obama is taking a very big gamble, with a very big prize. | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
Thank you. There are new development in the | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
continue controversy surrounding the Co-op. The government's been accused | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
of directly favouring the Co-op in the sale of part of Lloyds Banking | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
Group. Lord Levine who headed up a rival bid to buy 632 branches said | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
he was told by the former governor of the Bank of England a political | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
decision was made to back the Co-op'sed by, which was ultimately | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
doomed. -- bid. It was the deal which all be ruined | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
the Co-operative Bank and shone a light on inexperienced people in the | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
most senior jobs in British banking the bid to quite a quarter of Lloyds | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
Banking Group branches would have tripled it in size and created mew | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
force on the high street. But it was a bid too far and it failed. Within | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
a year, the bank was told it needed more capital to survive and was | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
downgraded to junk status. Now the man whose own bid to buy the | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
Lloyds branches says that the Government had decided that only the | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
Co-op would win in the end. Lord king advised me that we would not be | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
the winners in this bid, because a political decision had been made to | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
favour the Co-op. And that the only way, the 11th hour | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
we could do this would be to talk directly to the politicians about | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
this, which we did. And they told us it wasn't true. | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
The Government said that the sale of Lloyds branches was a commercial | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
matter nor regulators, and the companies involved. Lloyds denied | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
they were under any political pressure There There would be some | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
people say it is sour grapes because you lost money If you have a bid and | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
the other puts a better bid you have to put it to experience. You win | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
some, you lose some. The other bid was not a credible bid. If you say | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
how do you know? You only have to look at what happened. After the | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
bail out in 2008 Lloyds was ordered to sell 632 branches. In June 2011 | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
the Co-op was confirmed as the preferred bidder for those branches. | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
But there were plenty of warnings, including from the Bank of England | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
saying the Co-op might not be able to become a major bank. The role of | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
the Government and indeed the city regulator as come under the | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
microscope into how the Co-op was allowed to grow so Dickly a and why | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
a man like Paul Flowers was allowed to become chair of the bank. Today | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
the boss of the new city regulator said there was little that the old | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
Watchdog could have done differently. We wouldn't happen in | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
the same way, but the truth is that was the system at the time, that was | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
the system that the FSA operated, he was challenged. We challenged him | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
and said you don't have the right experience, but at the time we | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
wouldn't have opposed the appointment, what we needed was to | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
have additional reputation on the board of people who did have banking | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
experience. The Chancellor announced an | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
independent inquiry, there might end up being seven different probes and | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
investigation into the Co-operative Bank and its ex chairman. For | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
Britain's most ethical bank a year that started with promise is ending | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
with anything but. Tighter controls on benefits that can be claimed by | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
new EU migrants are being considered by the Government. David Cameron | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
wants to ensure new imgrans spend longer in the country before they | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
can access benefit, a move that could put him at odds with the EU | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
More than 11,000 children have been killed in the conflict in Syria | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
since 2011 according to a new report which examines the extent of human | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
suffering there. The Oxford Research Group says many children were not | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
random victim, may have been tortured. You may find some of the | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
images in the report disturbing. This northern area of Aleppo was | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
where the most Syrian children have died. In a war where the youngest | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
are caught in cross fire, they are targeted and tortured. This report | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
is an effort to establish how and where Syria's children are dying. | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
The vast majority it says were killed by bombs or shells, in their | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
own neighbourhood. But many were singled out. 389 cases | :12:02. | :12:10. | |
of sniper fire. 764 summary execution, and it found | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
112 recorded deaths by torture. Some were just infants. | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
But most were teenage boys. The report says they are at greatest | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
risk. They are out in the streets more. | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
And they are old enough to fight. The report stresses these figures | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
are incomplete. Access is impossible in some areas but it still lights | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
the horrors. Children are targeted because it destroys a community, it | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
destroys a Tam, when you know your child has been tortured, has been | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
murdered, has been brutalised you lose the will to live. The world | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
took notice during the chemical weapon attacks in August, but it | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
didn't stop the war, this war on childhood. | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
Across this region, Syria's children face an uncertain future, this | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
report is also a plea to all sides of this conflict, to spare the most | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
vulnerable. And it calls for the threat of | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
prosecutions against those who continue to commit the worst of | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
atrocities, in a war that just keeps getting worse. | :13:16. | :13:25. | |
With all the sport now, here is Lizzie. Hello. Thank you. Good | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
evening, there is a war of words taking place in Australia, following | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
England's opening Ashes Test defeat. They lost by the huge margin of 391 | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
runs and the home side are enjoying every minute of it. Our | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
correspondent joins us from Brisbane. No-one expected this to be | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
friendly but it is turning into an ugly battle. I think you are right. | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
People certainly here going to work with a spring in their step, | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
remember, this was the fifth day of the first Ashes Test, instead, we | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
are reflecting on that overwhelming victory for Australia, but more than | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
that, what about that ugly mood between the two sets of players? | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
Remember, this is a relentless year of back-to-back Ashes cricket. | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
Basically there is no time for the dust to settle, or for wounds to | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
heel. -- heal. | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
This is an image that will linger from Brisbane, Australia's Dane in | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
the face of England's James Anderson, but even if on field | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
banter strays into talk of breaking bone, both sides accept it. England | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
can only admit they were outplayed. Bowled out for 179 in their second | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
innings for a crushing defeat. What troubled Alastair Cook were earlier | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
comments from Australia's David warning suggesting England and | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
Jonathan Trott were scared. The comment by David Warner was | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
disrespectable to any professional. Any professional cricketer. On the | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
pitch it is pretty much a war, so there is going to be a few words on | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
the pitch, think that is the way people want to watch cricket being | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
played. Tough hard cricket. On the pitch is fine. Cook's own batting | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
contribution was England's own real resistance, the only man to make a | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
half century. England promised to fight, even in pursuit of certain | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
defeat but when Cook was out the game he was up. It was too much for | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
Matt Prior. He is a big part of England's engine room who seems to | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
have lost the key. Mitchell Johnson tore in at 90mph and England held | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
bats like candles in the gale. There is a fee some fast bowler to contend | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
with. But as Australia's captain defends the way his team operates | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
There is always banter on the field, two teams that play tough, hard | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
fought cricket on the field, I still believe there is a very good a | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
mutual respect off the field. That is in this unprecedented year of | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
non-stop ash, the players know each other very well and familiarity does | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
not breed affection. So what next? Ten days until the | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
Second Test, before then some of England's players will go to Alice | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
springs for a practise match. They will cool down with the temperatures | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
reaching 40 degree, Lizzie, the point is this, you can understand | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
that England object to being called scared, but really in cricket the | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
only way to counter words, is by scoring runs. | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
Thank you. Now there have been plenty of goals | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
in the two Premier League games. Match of the Day followings the news | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
so if you don't want to know the scores leave the room now. | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
Manchester City put an incredible six past Tottenham in a game the | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas said his side should be ashamed of. City | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
go above Manchester United who were held to a 2-2 draw at Cardiff. Sir | :16:50. | :17:00. | |
Philip craven has been re-elected as chairman of the Paralympic team. | :17:01. | :17:11. | |
Ireland were denied their first ever victory over New Zealand conceding a | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
last gasp try in Dublin, having led their final autumn international for | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
the whole match they were beaten 24-22 by a New Zealand try and | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
conversion in added time. The All Blacks are the first side in Rugby | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
Union's professional era to go a whole year unbeaten. | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
And Formula One's four time World Champion Sebastian Vettel has | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
rounded off another commanding season by making history again. The | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
German won the Brazilian Grand Prix. His ninth race win and 13th of the | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
season. Equally two long-standing records in the sport. Second place | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
went to his team-mate Mark Webber, driving in his last ever F1 Grand | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
Prix. That the sport. -- that is the sport. And you can | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
see more on today's stories on the BBC News channel, that is all from | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
me, stay with us on BBC One, it is time for the | :18:07. | :18:07. |
