we are absolutely determined that this would be a good deal or there will be no deal. that's why it's hard. that's why we didn't close the deal here in the last couple of days. >> so could congress now move, patty, to make mr. kerry's negotiations when the next round happens even more difficult? >> reporter: or everybody impossible. and this is going to be a critical week for the obama administration. this week we expect congress going to take up additional sanctions for iran. they could even move to limit the president'sbility to change any of the sanctions to do anything in regards to the financial sector. and the president has been pushing back. we heard secretary kerry just this morning say that this would sends a message to the other side that they are not negotiating in good faith and that that could actually scuttle the negotiations. but remember, israel has always had much more power with members of congress than it does with the presidency, they are sending a message that they are going to be lobbying hard this week. so it looks like it is possible that even members of the

president's own party could step in to try to scuttle these negotiations before they really get anywhere. >> all right, patty, many thanks to you. patty in washington. in saudi arabia, police have fought with foreign workers protesting against a visa crack down, two people killed and dozens injured. nicole johnston reports. >> reporter: these are workers in the men's district. they are being rounded up by police after hundreds of them protested against a visa crack down in the kingdom. many are from ethiopia. the police are now urging those who have over stayed their visas to turn themselves in. >> arrangements have been made to offer them yet another chance to voluntary vendor individually or with families. >> reporter: in april the saudi government announced an amount necessary at this for, woulders to get their visas sorted out or phase prison. hundreds of thousands of workers decides today return to their home countries. last week the amnesty ended and

of 224-kilometers. once it reaches an altitude of 80-kilometers it will break apart. roughly 45th of its mass will burn in the atmosphere, but the rest of the debris is set to come crashing down, some weighing up to 90-kilograms. it's still uncertain exactly where the falling pieces will make impact. but don't worry too much, the european space agency says humans are about 250,000 times more likely to strike it lucky at the lottery than to get struck by a piece of the satellite. gerald tan, al jazerra. for more on this and perhaps a bit of reassurance as well. joining us on the line from germany, is the head of the european space agency's space debris office. could goode to have you with us on the program. as these pieces fall to earth, how ease seu is it for you to track exactly where they are going to land?
