This is international talks in geneva failed over the weekend and are expected to resume in ten days time. Addressing Parliament Yesterday the reining president Hassan Rouhani said they had the right to reduce nuclear fuel and will not bow to threats by major powers. The u. S. Secretary of state john kerry unexpectedly flew to geneva to help bridge the differences. Speaking to nbcs meet the press he denied reports that france was to blame for the breakdown in talks. Id say a number of nations, not just the french but ourselves and others, wanted to make sure that we had the tough language necessary, the clarity in the language necessary to be absolutely certain that we were doing the job and not granting more or doing something slopily and make a mistake. Joining us is hadley garan. What do you make of the progress or lack of progress . Well, it hasnt been a total wash. This is the highest level of engagement that weve seen between tehran and the United States since the 1979 revolution. The main Sticking Point for france, for the israelis as well, is the fact that this plan from the white house, this grace period of six months does not require iran to stop enriching uranium. It does not require iran to dismantle its Nuclear Program basically. Theres a healthy amount of skepticism. Many in the u. S. Smell blood. Theyve seen iran come to the table. General jim jones is the former security advisor to president obama. Hes very familiar with tehrans nuclear actions. He talked to them in 2009 and didnt see a deal. He has a bit of skepticism. I asked him, is this political posturing or could we see them come to the table and make a deal. Thats a great question. Thats one everybody is asking themselves about. Obviously in this region much closer to iran there are some pretty hard convictions about anything iran says depending which country. In 2000 nieb we did reach out to them. We reached out to them publicly but also in ways that were where they didnt have to respond just to see if there was a willingness to have a dialog e dialogue. The president mentioned it in his address. We will reach out and test the waters to know with no success. Iran clearly wasnt interested in either a quiet relationship that maybe would help restore relationships with us and thats the way it was. Nonetheless, the United States cannot afford to pass up an opportunity or to be seen to pass up an opportunity from a new government who now reaches out to us. I understand people who say dont believe them. I understand people who say they havent changed, that youre being seduced, youre being youre showing weakness. We have to at least test the waters. Weve been down this road before. We will im sure draw our conclusions very quickly and well see what those conclusions are. My one experience is i wouldnt get my hopes up too high, but thats because ive been down the track a few times and im quite sure that the president and the Vice President , secretary of state are fully capable of making an assessment and when the time comes well see the sin cert of those intentions. So well see what happens. So theres general jim jones, healthy bit of skepticism echoing something ive heard from Congressional Republicans as well. The longer they take the p 5 plus 1 to get something on the table to get a real deal with iran, congress can come out and say, we can put some more sanctions in play. Its going to turn political. The quicker they can make a deal, the better. For now, thank you. We turn to the philippines, the u. N. Claims some 9. 5 Million People have been affected by typhoon haiyan. Joining us for more is marie from oxfam who is also in manila. Marie, thanks so much, indeed, for joining us. Can you tell us what is going on among relief efforts particularly around taclaban where we understand its been difficult to get in there because bridges had come down . Do you know the latest . Yes. Right. Youre right there. So this figure that we are looking at now has actually doubled and its like 10 of the total population affected. 70 of them already in Evacuation Centers in 41 provinces in the country. These are the worst provinces. These are really islands. It continues to challenge give us challenges in terms of accessibility in communication. So some of the areas are 100 destroyed. On the averages, some of the buildings and major infrastructure have been destroyed. Major needs revolve around food, water and shelter. Who is leading the relief effort at the moment . Right now the government is leading relief efforts but the International Community has been trying to coordinate efforts more strongly to reach maces that the government has not reached. Right now the concentration of efforts are still in taklaban. We need to set up command centers, get to relief efforts soonest so that this reaches the people who are affected and dont drive them to desperation as food and water is becoming scars in these areas. How would you describe the areas of desperation . The latest report on the red cross truck being attacked, attacked in the sense that i think this has driven people to mop up any relief efforts that come to their way to go and try to partake of these goods right away. So really order has to be, you know, some people have government has to get its act together so that order can be restored in those areas. This is only there is only one report that we have. This may not be true in other areas so were still trying to reach some areas right now. Weve sent teams to eastern areas and to the northern parts. Marie, thanks for that. Marie madamba from oxfam. Well keep you up to date with all of the news from the philippines as it happens. Bp has recently signed a deal for all of the games for the Champions League. Bt only launched its sports channel and spent 738 Million Pounds to show premier league games. Speaking earlier on this channel, the cfo of bt defended the deals cost. We had an envelope. We came within that envelope and we genuinely believe that we can monetize this and it makes commercial sense. We have a long track record of having delivered what we said we would deliver, both in terms of our guidance and our cash flow guidance. What were saying here is our guidance remains unchanged as a result of doing this so we dont think weve overpaid. Joining us is mike laughlin. Bt doesnt think theyve overpaid but plenty of others do, dont they . I think the market is pretty shocked by the fees paid by bt. More than excessive double the amount than the current deal is worth, 400 million. Its a lot of money, but it it gives bt an exclusive package which no one has ever had before. It will be very interesting to see how they develop this. Of course, this is a major challenge to bskyb. Bskyb stock is down by nearly 400 Million Pounds with people saying its not the value that theyve lost Champions Leagues rights. People go what happens with the next premier league negotiation. I think thats absolutely right. Weve seen premier league went to 3 billion this time around. That comes up for renewal for 2016. Youve got the situation that theres a massive hyper inflation in the market rights for these. Bskyb, 10 million subscribers. Bt, 7 million subscribers. This is not just about sport, this is about broadband. Broadband has a mix here which sky has not had to deal with before. Theyve always been dealing with just sport. This is different for bt. This is about building and establishing their broadband subscribers and using sport for their platform which has worked incredibly for sky. The satellite system. So the strategy is identical. The last time weve seen this type of thing happening was sky coming onto the platform 20 years ago. Bt is playing sky at their own game. More money into the games. Yes. Now this news comes as we also get the second tranche of tickets going on for the world cup in brazil. How would you describe right now their state of readiness and preparedness and particularly what threat is there from disturbances . I mean, i think the problem everyone was shocked i think at what happened during the coderations cup. Theres a lot of civil unrest. I think brazil has experienced a massive growth in the last few years. They have this big class c group which is half of t
