>> this is al jazeera america america i'm jonathan betz with today's top stories. an historic iran agreement in hand. winning over consistental lawmakers and nervous allies. honduras, two people claiming victory in that nation's elections. tribal leaders overwhelmingly approved it,. and a dangerous winter storm in the southwest has claimed more lives as it pushes more weather towards the east coast.

>> there is both joy and disdain over the iran nuclear deal. president barack obama phoned benjamin netanyahu to insures him we're committed to israel. >> this agreement has made the world a much more dangerous place. i know many share the concern of israel, and there's a reason for this. for years the international community has demanded that iran cease all uranium enrichment. now for the first time the international community has formally consented that iran continue its enrichment of yeurm. enrichment of 800 uranium.

>> called him the ambassador of peace. some american lawmakers including house speaker john boehner have doubts. more from libby casey at the white house. >> news of the nuclear deal was met with a mixed reaction in washington, concern that iran would take advantage of the situation. supporters of the president says this is a big step forward for diplomacy, something that hasn't been seen in many years and that the next six months will be a crucial time. secretary of state john kerry says the six month agreement buys time, time to hammer out a more comprehensive deal, one that aims to roll back iran's nuclear program not just halt it. >> now the really hard part begins: that is the effort to get the comprehensive agreement which will require enormous steps in terms of verification, transparency, and accountability.

we know this, we have determined to work together, we will start today literally to continue the efforts out of geneva and to press forward. >> secretary kerry a lon time veteran of the senate, didn't have a seat at the table this time around and are still weighing their own legislation to increase sanctions against iran. >> i would caution the president from overselling this deal because it is not a full dismantling of their program and that would be a historical deal. when you have friends and allies in the region strongly opposed to it i would caution it. >> house speaker john boehner says, both the white house and congress want a final deal that bars iran from ever creating a nuclear weapon but for now, quote, the lingering question is whether the negotiating partners will work equally hard to

provide the strong international sanctions regime. until that is achieved. the threat of america's military must still be in play. >> our policy is that iran should not have a nuclear arms capability. that continue to be our policy. and the military option, as secretary kerry said is still on the table and it needs to be on the table. we need to make sure that iran does not move forward. i think that this is a marginal improvement. >> a freeze isn't enough for two top senate democrats who put out statements that they expect the senate to move forward on sanction he next month despite pleas from the white house to give the new deal time to ripen. >> those two senators bob menendez and chuck schumer of new york. they are interested in getting sanctions put in place so they would kick in they would be more

severe and they would be a threat to be used in diplomacy. >> libby casey in new york. iranians said they were hoping for more relief from the sanctions. al jazeera's soria linney reports. >> any deal is worth it because what iranians wanted was a result a way to end decades of hostility and sanctions. >> translator: it's shameful the u.s. claims to be concerned about human rights. if the government is against another government why would they punish people for it? they've hurt us for 34 years. >> under the deal the p-5 plus 1 powers agreed to suspend limited sanctions on iran's auto industry, limit the purchase of oil and include the importation of medicine. >> after lifting the sanctions

people can buy things easier because the pricings will go down and people wouldn't be under pressure. for example i have children abroad studying and i should send money to them. and the price of u.s. currency has dropped. >> in total, the deal will provide $7 billion in sanctions relief. but that's not much compared to what iran has lost under the current sanctions. at least $80 billion in oil revenues alone since the start of last year. >> in the coming months the united states tries to cheat iran or tries to twist the deal in a way which makes it hurtful for the iranians, then that could hurt the deal definitely. >> if pleasing iranians is a challenge then quieting hard liners will be tougher. most of them don't think iran should be negotiating at all, convincing them otherwise is a task president hasan rouhani

will have to face. the president is not the only one pleased from these talks. the ayatollah khomeini has applauded these talks and also iran's negotiating team and it also might just be his voice that's the only thing that can silence hard-liners and give this deal a chance of successing. al jazeera teheran. >> stay with us, we'll have a lot more of it later tonight. still up, afghan leaders have voted to keep the u.s. troops in afghanistan. al jazeera's jane ferguson explains. >> this was metropolitan to be a day of agreement but many left feeling more confused than ever.

the jurga, which was a gathering of afghan whys, in reference to president karzai's announcement on thursday that he won't sign the deal until after elections next april. on sunday he stuck to his position that he needed more time to get a better deal from washington. that didn't satisfy the head of the jurga and the drama on stage played out live on tv. >> translator: i want to repeat again, americans can not go into our houses after the bilateral documents. they cannot kill anyone in their house. the afghan people will be safe and peace will come. i don't accept that this decision is historical. the.

>> translator: whatever the president is saying is is right. that americans do not have any right to enter afghan houses they have given that in writing and they promised. a superpower cannot break their promise. if they do then we are ready to protest. >> sir, no protests, terminating the bilateral they have to promise they are not killing afghans in their houses, they have to do that. >> translator: okay, all right, then sign this first. if they break the promise then we know what to do. >> translator: no, first they have to prove it. you sign it, if you don't sign we'll be upset and leave. sign it until we settle this issue. >> karzai's opposition says his delay tactics come from desire to shift the upcoming elections.

>> his demand is personal. and he mentioned, part of it. indeed, in speech. he linked the signing of the by lateral agreement with the elections. >> abdalla believes karzai wants the u.s. to support a candidate of his choosing. whatever his motives for such decisions, president karzai's political moves clearly put him in the lead on this security pact for some time left. jan ferguson, al jazeera, kabul. afghanistan.. >> it's been five hours since polls still closed in honduras, but the ruling party's candidate is leading but his main opponent castro says those numbers are not true. al jazeera's adam rain evergreen has the latest from tegucigalpa.

>> he had a message from all the candidates and their supporters to accept the results whatever they might be. >> translator: remember in politics is winning and losing so we have to stay peaceful and accept the will of the people. >> he's led honduras through the wake of 2009 coup. state and national institutions have been eroded. the two top contenders are juan uh juan ornandez and castro of the leftist libre party. forced out of office in the coup she promises to rewrite the accusation, such proposal contributed to her husband's removal and she wants to take the new military police and army off the streets and put a new community force in its place.

>> the government isn't clearly secure, justice is bought and sold every day. >> hernandez is promising a soldier on every corner. the military police were his creation. >> where do you want the soldiers, in the barracks or on the streets? where? i want them on the streets too. >> 20 people are dying every day in honduras but insecurity is far from the only problem. two in three live in poverty. jobs and opportunity are authored come by. and a deep financial crisis has made survival even harder. manuel hernandez is part of a party we asked him if the plosions were part of the people. >> what can i say is i will fight with all that i have and

change the situation of honduras. >> army and police chiefs as well as the head of the country's electoral tribunal have sought to secure the voters. >> how each party both winners and losers react to results will determine the next chapter of this already unstable country. >> and our adam rainey joins us. is hernandez still in the lead? >> he is. right now, we have a supreme electoral tribunal, the official institution responsible for the count, has counted around 42% of all ballots and they say that juan orlando hernandez is ahead in the votes. when he was speaking just moments ago on television, that 20% of precincts haven't even

gotten their ballots in, this might be long into monday. although they have only countered half of the votes, the candidates have both been on rallies on national television saying they're the ones who have won, they have internal polling to show it and they are the ones to lead honduras for the next four years. we don't imagine that either candidate is going to concede in the next few hours because regardless what the tribunal says, we have such a divided country here that the supporters of these parties are very likely to believe in what the tribunals said because they have lost faith in public institutions here. >> what happens next? who decides the president? >> that's what's really not clear. legally, it's up to the

electoral tribunal. but it's not clear here in this country where there was a coup just four years ago, what the final point of this election will be. when will the people stand down? is it just going to be chest thumping and arguing, are we going to see greater divisions? no one predicts or wants to speculate what's going to happen but we have such stark differences between these parties, because on the left castro and her libre party, many blame the national party for backing the coup that ousted her husband. >> that's the concern whether this would spark more violence in a country that already has an incredibly high murder rate. >> exactly. we have seen a country that has seen that murder rate spiral as gangs fight for turf, as drug cartels build clandestine

landing strips, many don't believe there is a rule of law and there's widespread corruption and impunity, take that all into account with the two leading appeared disagreeing early parties disagreeing. we might want to see as you say stand still or some type of stalemate. we don't know if that will be violent or not but we are all watching to see what's happening in the next few hours and days. >> it's too close to call who might be the country's next president. adam rainey, thank you. a large storm is slowly pushing through the southwest, expected to bring snow and sleet to the northeast. storm has killed 13 people now. rebecca, it's headed torts east

coast right in time of thanksgiving travel. >> john, you said the names of those cities so well. if you were in chicago now -- >> my tongue would freeze! >> it is cold outside, these are wind chills. it feels like 10 in toronto right now and if you go to pittsburgh it feels like 18. and we do have some strong weather on the way. what we've been watching is satellite pictures because something interesting: the cloud cover told us we had an arctic outbreak. the atlantic ocean created some sort of cloud, a cume luis cloud developed as the -- cumulus cloud developed. these fine lines of those cumulus clouds out over the ocean. that's just an interesting way

to see an arctic outbreak. otherwise we're looking for lake effect snow, watches out for many parts of the northeast. not only tonight but as we get into the work week ahead. jonathan was just showing you how it hit texas and oklahoma. still bringing freezing rain. coming up a few minutes away. >> thanks rebecca. big raises over the years for ceos but not their employees. ahead on al jazeera america. >> start with one issue ad guests on all sides of the debate. and a host willing to ask the tough questions and you'll get... the inside story ray suarez hosts inside story weekdays at 5pm et / 2pm pt only on al jazeera america

every sunday night, al jazeera america presents... eye opening films from the worlds top documetary directors. coming up next, >> there's probably about a hundred people living

in the extreme tiny houses... >> is going small part of a big movement? >> part of the reason for moving into a tiny house is to get rid of all this "stuff"... >> what you gain by having less... >> let's think about giving up mcmasions... >> a tiny american dream, al jazeera america presents... tiny: a story about living small next. >> and welcome back. swiss voters rejected a proposal to cap the salaries of top executives. they felt a pay limit would hurt the economy. would allow managers to make no more than 12 times what their lowest paid employee earns. in the u.s. the wage gap

between ceos and workers is staggering. american ceos make 700% more than they did just 30 years ago randall pinkston has the story. >> rising tide raises all boats, everyone working for these companies are reaping the benefits, right? not exactly. while the leaders of pig companies, the ceos salaries have skyrocketed up more than 725% from 1978 to 2011 the average american's worker compensation barely moved, up only 5% during that period. widening pay disparities hurt employee morale. >> they get angry when they see those at the top making a disproportionate part of the wealth taking a disproportionate

amount of the company's profits home in their own pockets and not distributing to all of those who have helped the company achieve its goals. >> in switzerland, there is a referendum limiting the pay of the top executives to 12 times that of workers. , here is an example of ceo salaries from last year. j.c. penney why president rose, average wage of j.c. penney workers. walmart president, average worker, 1034% to 1. mcdonald's, average employee $22,000, a ratio of 627 to 1.

at general electric the kerry made 491 times more than his average worker. as xerox, a lower ratio 425 to 1. some justify the reward to boost the shareholders stock. >> through stock options and other means, to the corporation's financial performance. but this also unfortunately has created a real short term mindset where american managers have come to manage for the short term as opposed to for the long term health of the enterprise. >> the gap wasn't always so vast. for the much of the last century the ratio was fairly consistent. but in the either '80s the --

early '80s they fell further and further behind. 20 years later corporate leergts were take 120 times more. now it's 204 times. when the federal government orders corporations to report the difference between what possess earn and what they pay their workers. randall pinkston, al jazeera. >> all right, our ross shimabuku is here with the sports headlines. a big upset for the tarheels tonight. >> 21 game win streak come to an end. north carolina who lost to belmont last week pulled off their own upset, against the number 3, the tar heels would

hand the cardinals their additional loss, 93-74 is the final. no way they could make the playoffs? way! the steelers crushed the browns 27-11 to improve to 5 and 6 on the season, they are back in the playoff season because there are some very bad teams in the afc. the rams chris long facing his brother kyle long, yes those are howeihowie long's kids. big brother chris had the last laugh because the rams went on to win it 42-21. we'll have more on the busy busy nfl season. >> 2,000 year old remains of

what is believed to be the first pope, st. peter has been put on display at the vatican. more on that from rome. >> crowds at the vatican? that's not unusual. but here, the first pope, by the man who took on the role 2,000 years later. these are what are believed to be the remains of st. peter. wrapped in purple and gold cloth, the sign of somebody very important. but there is no dna evidence and the feet were missing which is why there is some skepticism. >> we can be nearly sure that the tomb is under the basilica. but we can say nothing about the bones, because archaeological

data is missing. >> if the science can't confirm it then it's all a matter of faith for me. >> translator: what's important is that we as christians give relative importance to the bones. >> all the evidence is they are st. peter's but if you don't want to believe you won't. >> with that, the remains were taken back inside. their first sight of day light over in minutes. the bones got their blessing, the crowd got their chance to see albeit from afar. for catholics this may be for one issue, faith. there may be no proof those are the bones of st. peter but the crowd here believes, science may differ on so many issues but here science will not be getting a look in. al jazeera, the vatican. >> we've got lot more to talk about here at al jazeera,

historic agreement could be getting pushed back on capitol hill. plus new york city's in-coming mayor, may get to decide the controversial stop and frisk policy. how one man is fighting it in the classroom.

power of the people until we restore

>> welcome back to al jazeera america. i'm jonathan betz with tonight's headlines. honduras's election is too close to call. hernandez is leading by about six points but it's still a close call between him and xiomara castro. both candidates already are claiming victory. in afghanistan, tribal leaders voted to keep the united states troops in their country through 2016. iran's foreign minister received a hero's welcome from

hundreds of cheering supporters from iran's airplanes today, u.s. lawmakers are skeptical saying iran cannot be trusted. and iran is the focus of our sunday night look at the week ahead. the nuclear deal will certainly dominate discussions in the u.s. and overseas this week. alz's patty culhane explains what's at stake. >> the handshakes and hugged that marked this first agreement now part of the history book and now the spin begins as each side claims victory. >> translator: it has been written clearly in the text of this agreement, that iran will continue its enrichment and therefore i announce to the people of iran that enritualment will continue in the same way -- enrichment will continue the same way as before. >> the agreement says iran will continue to enrich as it has been but only up to 5%.

the agreement spells out the end goal of future talks that iran will be able to enjoy its right to nuclear energy but u.s. secretary of state john kerry spelled out. >> any has the right to a peaceful nuclear program. that there is a defined right within the npt but a peaceful nuclear program does not mean you have the right to enrich. >> prime minister benjamin netanyahu outraged by the deal. he wants iran stripped of any nuclear capability sending this warning: >> israel is not bound by this agreement. we cannot and will now allow for a are regime that calls for the destruction of israel, the means to achieve this goal. we will not allow iran to have a nuclear weapons capability. >> his allies in the u.s.

congress expressing the same outrage, even promising that they will pass additional sanctions if president obama doesn't agree to. >> a bipartisan agreement that this is not the final, strong on -- long on announcements but very short on follow-through. >> allies and members of congress feeling shut out of the first agreement, even if they don't actually have a seat at this table. pathy culhane, al jazeera, washington. last night president obama urged congress not to quoaz more sanctions -- to impose more sanctions on iran. right now israel's prime minister called the break through a historic mistake. and within iran itself president

hasan rouhani has to play the plan to miss own people. earlier, we spoke to hussein and richard mush fi who was a career diplomat and assistant second during the reagan era. >> the mistrust is very long. 34 years have gone by, that's as long as i spent in the u.s. government, spent -- seemed a long time for me. but certain patterns of thought distrust of each other have taken root and we're going to demand that there's good faith movement on their part and they on their part are going to say what's coming to us, the president last night and the fact sheet out of the capital said, they're going to demand in return clear evidence that we're willing to move the sanctions

down the road. >> so when israel says this is an historic mistake that we do have a lot to lose here, do they not have a point? >> no, i don't think so. i think we have a lot to gain and israel has a lot to gain and the region in general if there is a healthier u.s.-iranian relationship. >> let's put it this way, iran in this deal, iran has given up a lot. i mean, it is -- halted -- halted all the enrichments, making the centrifuges one fifth and one-third. >> but they can still enrich uranium in very small doses. >> but that won't be enough to even fuel nuclear reactors for energy purpose. see that's the purpose. i think what i'm saying that iran's nuclear technology has already been reduced if this deal goes through, to something

i call really nominal. or symbolic. i think in return iran is getting what? iran is getting nothing. iran is getting 7, 8, $10 billion in of sanctions? that's peanut, for a country like iran, that is peanut. 10 billion, 15 billion, even 20 billion, when it comes to iran's economy. iran's economy is huge, one of the biggest in that region. what iran is getting in return for away it is giving, honest, is very little, very little. and i think this is a great deal for america. it's a great deal for israel. i think if i was israel i would take it and will make sure that it gets implemented. that's what israel has to do. that it gets implemented. >> so are you optimistic that iran will follow through on this? >> i don't think they would have gone this far without some

seriousness on their part to carry through. they have their critics as your statement said just before we started. within iran. we have a good many critics in the states. and certainly in israel and saudi arabia you've got critics saying the americans are going to do something stupid. i go back to what jfk said at his inaugural, never be afraid to negotiate. >> do you think iran can be trusted? do you think they're going to go forward with this and give the united states even more concessions? >> i'm not sure of more concessions. i know you can trust this government -- let me put it this way. in iran you have two levels of administration, the revolutionary level, covered by the ayatollah khomeini -- >> two heads basically. >> and then you have the executive branch which

mr. rouhani is president of, these two levels of administration have two different views of international relations, relations with the u.s., with israel and so on. the group that now is in the forefront of this movement to sort of basically dismantle much of iran's nuclear program is obviously at the executive level not at the top. >> ambassador my final question for you is why is israel so outspoken against this? what does it have to gain by complaining at this point? >> well, i think it's had good reason to be nervous about iran. the statements out of the iranian leadership over the years have been very harsh, very hostile. personally i don't think iran ever had the intention to launch a war against israel, to shoot a bomb against israel -- >> despite what they said is it

worth risking? >> i think it's important for israel to support testing pushing this initial agreement. the other road is so negative to which could well end up in autoregional war. we don't need it. israel doesn't need it. >> and our look at the week ahead, our thanks to ahmadi and ripped murphy. public gatherings of more than ten people now need permission from the police, however the new law did not stop hundreds from marching in cairo. call it a blow to political freedom. one big concern is whether it gives the government more power to crack down on journalists. dominic kane has more. >> they've only been married for two months but for the last two weeks, tasnim has not seen her husband. amir is a journalist with the

online agency. sympathetic to the muslim brotherhood. tasmeen set armur was picked up earlier this month, during the stfnlg. stage of emergency. >> since then i have not heard anything from him and i don't know how he is being treated. >> came to national attention with this, secret filming of the defend minister abdul al asissi, called for action to be taken against vast. amir az acres ofz has been officially detained after being questioned by military prosecutor. he is the fourth journalist to

be held after mohamed morsi was deposed. if the accusations were related to a civilian minister he could be tried here. but because the accusations relate to general assisi he will be tried in cairo. and some say military justice is no justice at all. no to military trials of civilians. >> to keep democracy you have to keep people safe, if you take the rights away the rights of a just trial you're not going to have democracy, you'll have people hating the government hating the military and you don't want that in the streets. >> egypt's constitutional committee has just allowed, many opposition groups have condemned it and promised to campaign

against constitution if the article is not approved from the final draft. but-- removed from the final draft. but that is no consolation to tasmin. just one person among many thousands here still being subjected to military justice. dominic kane, al jazeera, cairo. >> in syria, reports are surfacing, where the government is trying to attack strong holds. activists say more than 160 fighters with were killed, the syrian government has been gaining ground in many parts of the country. new york city's controversy stop-and-frisk policy is making headlines once again. one man has said he has been stopped twice.

kaylynn ford caught up to hem him. >> for days after being stopped in his neighborhood jabil toure said he felt powerless. >> they were yelling and like get on the wall and it just to me was very bizarre experience because i hadn't done anything. they said if i didn't have i.d. and didn't produce it i would be going to jail. they basically said to me, the next time a cop tells you you need to do something you better do it. >> the cops let him go after he showed them him i.d. but the experience changed him. >> i was angry, didn't know what to do, i had all this pent up frustration that was sitting inside and i felt the best way to do something was to get involved in my community. >> so jabil started teaching

know your rights classes. >> the new york city stop-and-frisk policy allows the officer to stop a person they believe is going ocommit a crime or is believed to have committed a crime. more than half a million peer were stopped and frisked in 2012. but according to the civil liberties join, only a small percentage were brought to court. >> who in this room, who in this room has ever been stopped by police officers? >> it happened to me in my freshman year because when we came to the school we used to have half a days, and we used to get out early, they stopped me said i was cutting, they searched my book bag, i didn't

know what to do, it was my first time, i was kind of nervous, your they doing this? >> jabil's classroom: >> look officer i understand you are asking questions, i don't have i.d., i don't consent to you searching me or questioning me. you're letting them know there is a limit to how far this is going to do. >> jabil, how long this will continue is unclear. an appeals panel later suspended the ruling. kaylynn ford al jazeera, new york. >> it's a busy nfl sunday, ross shimabuku will be up next with all the sports ahead.

>> is going small part of a big movement? >> part of the reason for moving into a tiny house is to get rid of all this "stuff"... >> what you gain by having less... >> let's think about giving up mcmasions... >> a tiny american dream, al jazeera america presents... tiny: a story about living small next.

the stream is uniquely interactive television. in fact, we depend on you, your ideas, your concerns. >> all these folks are making a whole lot of money. >> you are one of the voices of this show. >> i think you've offended everyone with that kathy. >> hold on, there's some room to offend people, i'm here. >> we have a right to know what's in our food and monsanto do not have the right to hide it from us. >> so join the conversation and make it your own. >> watch the stream. >> and join the conversation online @ajamstream.

>> an active volcano is sparking more evacuations on an indonesiaian island. the military is ordering 15,000 more people to leave. sinabong is more than 150 active volcanoes in the pacific rim of fire. off the coast of australia, correlate spawning, there is only a few days a queer that the great barrier reef reproduces. >> the temperature of the water and the correlates to fine tune the exact night they go off.

actually use the blue light that's reflected from the new moon. you have different species of correlates going on different nights. we had the biggest correlates in the reef, it looks like smoke when they release the egg and sperm into the water. you have massive boulders the size of a car releasing this sperm into the water. >> it's easy to spot because of a slick on the surface and a distinct smell in the air. hundreds of divers flew from all over the world to watch this rare event. >> all right, nfl sunday ross is here so could yo -- cowboys vs.. >> we are cowboy-up for now, the

cowboys strapped it on for the new york giants. they don't really like each other. early on, victor cruz would get coralled by the cowboys. he's rumbled 50 yards, to give 7-0 lead. tony rowe mow ha romo, looked un whiten. he eli manning, it's tied up 21. romo is jacked up because we get a shot of bailey, not that kind

of bailey, dan bailey. how about those cowboys, they win 24-21, they are tied with the eagles. >> that's when you separate yourself as a quarterback and as a team in general, when you are able to make those drives in critical moments. our quarterback stepped up and did a hell of a job and i think the giets around him did a heck of a job. >> throughout all the talk and everything we played plenty of games where stuff like that happens and you got to go play and the better team will win and that's usually what happens in the nfl. >> indianapolis some weeks they look unstoppable, some weeks they look all of. today the awful awful awful.

cardinals coach bruce arias, hammered the colts, 40-11 is the final. i love it when cam and the pan terse does the superman impression like this. ryan tannehill cocks and rocks it. dolphins looking to keep their playoff hopes alive but cam newton, is in the building. panthers down 16-13 but then with under a minute to go the panthers drive the length of the field, newton on third and goal hights a wide-open, greg olson in the back of the end zone. so the panthers win 20-16, their

third straight victory. >> we are not the smartest out this because we do do silly things, that being said, the offensive line came together, did some really nice things for us, we were given time and were able to run the ball when we had to and gave ourselves a chance to win. >> there were aid lead changes, in the fourth the san diego superchargers would rally bad, la darius green, carb is in for the 64-yard score. kc, retakes the lead, 38-24. with 28 ticks left, rivers, scores the extra game weber, rivers for 392 yards an 3

touchdowns, 43-38, now a rematch against paint manning an peytone broncos. >> the last person with the ball ended up winning the game. >> we didn't do enough to get it done. yeah, it stings, it's all for nought. >> rex ryan is about to blow a gasket, because watch the receiver in motion. whoops, wrong place wrong time. sun devils ranks, joe philanthropiflacco isnot your a. ravens would go on to win it by

that same score to improve to 6:and 5 on the season. >> the one interception was kind of a -- it was really a route that wasn't run exactly right. so that was more of a miscommunication i guess would you say but he made a lot of the correct, defense we rant at and joe did a good job with that. >> patriots and broken co-s are tied, tale of two halves, but second half the patriots are ahead.

>> and now a techknow minute...

>> a winter weather setup. we have arctic air that's blasting across the states. lake effect snow, still snow coming down with lake effect

snow in places like lake erie. we'll continue to get some snow and south texas ice accumulations from freezing rain and drizzle coming down over that very cold air in place. moisture on top and there we have the freezing ice accumulations. this will continue after the course of the next few days. freezing rained an drizzle to be focused into the south. by monday night we're going to see most of that ice in central texas, central arkansas, but the storm will be tracking up tot east moving over to the virginias. we all have to watch this storm pass because as it moves into late night monday night into tuesday, i think pennsylvania is going to get hit pretty hard actually with this storm with the wintery mix and snow off to

the great lakes, looks mainly like rain in the atlantic. 20s and 30s for the most part, storm system tracking its way gradually eastward. snow in colorado and utah always good news for thanksgiving but this system is warm and wet and will bring a lot of rain in up the east coast. but the center of the storm is where we'll get the real problems with ice and snow. looks like most of it will be further north especially tuesday around the great lakes but it will impact pittsburgh and syracuse as well. thursday is thanksgiving and temperatures will have warmed up a little bit from where they are right now. we're going to stay with the cold though tonight.

>> welcome to al jazeera america. i'm jonathan betz with tonight's headlines. ♪ >> celebrations in iran but the world's reaction to the iran nuclear deal is mixed tonight. there was joy in iran as hundreds welcomed their foreign minister at the airport. minister of peace. some say iran cannot be trusted. tribal leaders in afghanistan have voted to keep american soldiers in that country beyond 2014, when 92nd soldiers are set to leave. but hamid
