there are procedures you can do to turn that into a benign substance. the other issue is a heavy water plant in iran called iraq that is still being constructed. the west, in particular the french are very concerned about it because as a by-product of that plant they produce plutonium used in dirty bombs and other nuclear weapon systems. so those two things are what the p5+1 say they're deeply concerned about. >> phil ittn er reporting in yes geneva. >> in pakistan thousands rally for anti-drone strikes rally. they have blocked a nato supply road, one of two used by nato.
