Can you yell me if the following sentence is correct: I'm in england Watashi wa Igirisu ni iru Watashi wa Igirisu ni desu I don't understand the difference between "iru" and "desu", both are translated as to be.

In this case, "Watashi wa Igirisu ni iru." is correct. "desu": "A is B." means "A = B". So, it is translated into "A wa B desu." If above sentence is "I am England.", it is translated into "Watashi ha Igirisu desu." (of course strange.) "iru": "iru" is near meaning of "stay" or "exist".

yes, the correct one is watashi wa igirisu ni iru 私はイギリスにいる。 or watashi wa igirisu ni imasu. 私はイギリスにいます。 as Takashi says iru / いる means exist. if you want to say "I'm England" that would be watashi wa igirisu desu.

Don't trust the translation too much between Japanese and English/French whatever. Our grammar is so different that there's some words we don't have in common such as "desu"! Wwatashi wa igirisu ni iru is correct!
