>> welcome to al jazeera america, i'm richelle carey. here are the stories we're following for you. death and destruction caused by typhoon hayan in the philippines. now vietnam prepares for the worst. >> we try to find common ground and drive the process forward. >> talking it over in geneva, diplomats try to find a deal over iran's nuclear program. and we have the latest work from the artist cristo.

>> the red cross said that typhoon haiyan may have killed more than a thousand people in the philippines. it comes as they cover the extent of the storm's damage. craig, that is quite a number. where is the red cross in the philippines. where are they getting that number? is anyone else saying the same thing? >> well, up until recently the government was only confirming 138, but the red cross with people on the ground and literally have been counting the bodies in the streets. our correspondent said that she was stepping over bodies as she went to get help once the floodwaters had revealed seeded. they're saying a thousand people in the capital of the island, and 200 in sema, aisland just nearby. but the governor of lati said

that he thought the number could eventually reach many thousands, up to 20,000 people. >> i suppose it's difficult to know that number because it's difficult to get to these areas. to that effect tell us how search and rescue is actually going. >> well, that's right. if you want to look at the strength of this storm you just need to look at the aerials that show complete and utter devastation across 44 provinces, some 1 million people have been displaced by the storm. they're still trying to get into many of these areas, and now they're flying into the capital of lati and taking in soldiers. they're bringing in certainly

forces to stop the looting because there is no food and water right now. >> sometimes you know it's coming and there is nothing that you can do. in many cases they were told to evacuate, but sometimes that's not realistic. where did they have to go. >> well, that's right. they evacuated 700,000 people from the direct parts that they knew the storm was going to hit, but many had nowhere to go. many are now in tents because their homes have been devastated already. so this storm compounded that problem for these people. plane of them, as you just said, had nowhere to go any way. >> all right, we're joined in

manila and in the few hours to come will tell the extent of this storm. >> typhoon haiyan is expected to weaken to 20 mph. it is moving at a pretty good clip. fortunately the waters are cooler that will weaken haiyan. we can expect rain and wind to pick up here but by the time it makes it's second landfall into northern vietnam that's when we're expecting the winds to come down to a strong tropical storm force. 69 mph winds, and the folks in vietnam not taking chances with the system. >> thank you. it is day three in geneva. we are world leaders are negotiating a plan to reduce iran's nuclear program. the west wants to lower the

potential for your program nucl. phil ittner joins us live. do yohave you gotten an update h how this is going? >> well, richelle, we're just now hearing from the iranian delegation and it appears as if they're preparing to leave today in the talks without an agreement. however, they are also saying that they will return in a week's time, this third round, this may be the round that the first step is kicked off. it's been a flurry of activity over the last 48 hours. a marathon session, and more talks today.

an awful lot of meetings going on here. 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 completed. that could be suggested. the french foreign minister saying the stock pile of refined uranium that the iranians new have is another obstacle to defining that agreement. >> now to further discuss the

impact of these meetings we're joined by beatrice, th i warrano pick up on what phil was talking about. the fate of that reactor that is in iran to be clear. why is that reactor so controversial? >> hi, the reactor is controversial because it can produce plutonium as a by-product. however, it is important to note that this is not ready yet, this reactor it will not be ready until 2014. and it will not be possible to

weapons material unless you start toes safeguards. it is a contagious issue that may be exaggerated because of lack of trust. >> what are some of the most realistic resolutions for this reactor come. >> i'm not sure. it's very unclear what goes on in the negotiations right now. it could be a compromised, a bit of postponement. i think any reactor allowed to produce materials in nuclear energy and research should be able to go ahead as long as they're allowed to do their work and ensure that it is only used for peaceful purposes. >> what do you think should be done in iran's stock pile yo uranium. had a can be done? >> that's some of the

negotiations going on right now. iran has stock piled uranium that is not yet highly enriched uranium for weapons purposes b but that could be done easily. that's one of the things that hopefully the negotiation also solve. >> how optimistic are you that maybe nothing is coming out of this set of meetings but there is a potential for the group to come back in a week or so? do you find that encouraging? do you think something will come of it? >> i think it's really optimistic. a lot of problems is the tension behind the state behavior. it's very difficult times to separate the technology from peaceful uses to military uses.

they are really positive and it's the first time they've talked about this so seriously. i don't think we'll lose momentum. i think this is a positive sign even though we might not get an agreement on this today or tomorrow, i think it's worth continuing, really. it's a great achievement the just to have these conversations. >> thank you very much. for decades iran has been known for its strict regime, but now there are changes. president hassan rouhani is showing openness and opening its country's borders. >> reporter: in iran there is a list and on it are those that range from political. many of them are students who

got caught up in the election. and he was also banned from attending university. >> i was in journalism and during the post election incident i was briefly arrested. last year i took the examine for my master's during ahmadinejad's presidency. they didn't give us our test results and banned us. we did not get a clear response. just verbally i was told that i'm not allowed to study in that is until now. now he's able to go back to president for that. and up of the most respected political minds say that hassan rouhani has used his first 100 days in office he has begun the process of taking the country back from radicals. >> i have been in jail for one year, but personally i have no

complaint because it has been a cost which i should pay for my nation and for my country i'm so happy after the four or eight years everything is clear for the moment, for everybody. >> those four to eight years belonged to mahmood ahmadinejad it also jailed thousands. it closed dozens of performance news papers and black lasted the country's largest organization of journalist. but since they have released hundreds of prisoners. many more will remain in jail or under house arrest including the leaders of the reformest green movement. >> in iran's complicated political system.

>> since the election so many iranians have gain back their freedom but when it comes to gender equality and censorship, they are hard pressed to see any improvement. the laws are still the laws and the president has promised not to change it. al jazeera, tehran. >> as the fighting intensifies in aleppo, is deciding whether to attend a proposed peace talks in geneva. >> this has been the trickiest issue for the coalition. on one level this negotiating

body represented the syrian opposition can't not show up. on the other hand if you show up and across the table from them are representatives of the assad regime, indeed, bashar al-assad himself, then they risk losing whatever credibl cry that they have. >> a newly discovered film from one of the world's darkest times sheds new light on nazi im. and we'll take a look at a controversial ahead.

>> see this man here. he will tell you about the jews. >> reporter: film professor wrote "hollywood and hitler," and i finds vanderbilt's clarity quite remarkable. >> when you look at the film with modern eyes you're struck by the menace of naziism. >> it was a box office bomb called heavy handed and ridiculed for suggesting that hitler might be a global threat. the film was thought to all but disappear until a championships, what is believed to be the copy of hitler reign of terror, they're accusing hollywood that effectively stretch the reach of the hitler propaganda campaign

to movie houses. >> they demanded that the hollywood studios fired 2005 their jewish sales men in germany. >> reporter: but this film is challenged by the reminder that the 1930s in germany and the united states was a very different time. >> words like collaboration and complicit is ove overblown. we have to remember this is a post-war construct. >> a dark past reemerging to the light. joie chen, al jazeera. >> a decision on detroit's bacy status will be announced in the coming days. the results will determine whether detroit will be the largest municipality to file for

>> it will be spectacular. but it is created play of light passing into the fabric. cristo and his team have been working on over the river for more than 20 years. they've had to get approval because much of the project is on protected lapped. he's raising the $50 million it will cost by telling hundreds of preparatory works, which he makes by hand. cristo and his late wife and collaborator became known for their out-sized and some say outlandish projects. and some are controversial in their own way, and over the river is no different. >> when we keep this in the mind of thousands who tried to stop us, even though who could not help us, you're part of the

project. willing or not willing in they say that he and jean-claude crowded all over before deciding on the arkansas as being perfect for their project. but critics say this is anything but the ideal location. >> it is on the scale of a mining operation. >> ellen is the vice president of roar which stands for rags over the arkansas river. the group has taken legal action to stop "over the river" saying ththat it will damage the landscape. cristo said they'll minimize the damage. others in the region say they'll support the project. >> i think it will create a lot of attention for this part of colorado, and i think it will do a lot to put this area of the
