mark fitzpatrick, international institute for strategic studies. joins us live from london. mark welcome to the program. we'll talk about the possibilities of the nuclear deal in just a moment. what about the sideways many diplomacy? >> it's vital to keep the members of the council informed of the negotiations. they have been very worried and skeptical that the united states might make a deal behind their backs. that's highly unrealistic but the united states has to bend over backwards to reassure the saudis. it's a good thing that john kerry in saudi arabia right now. >> major gaps, probably somewhat of an understatement isn't it?

>> well, i think it's fairly accurate. they are close. they are closer than i thought they would be. i've been pessimistic that iran would be willing to accept the kind of limits that would allow for this one year breakout period so they couldn't rush to produce material for a bomb before one year. but it appears that they have agreed to those conditions, a couple of weeks ago in munich they made some major concessions. agreeing on the limits got over what i thought was the major hurdle. there are gaps on sanctions on verifications, but if the limits ton overall conditions are agreed to, we may get the deal that netanyahu so fears. >> he was speaking to congress, we heard all about that, congress of course in a sense is a home crowd for netanyahu but

they could block any potential deal couldn't they? >> that's a very serious concern. you know, by the way vehemence with which prime minister netanyahu attacked impending deal is another indication that it is getting real. the negotiations are proceeding and i think they won't be affected immediately by his opposition. but if the congress were to pass legislation imposing new sanctions or requiring senate or congressional proocial of a approval of a deal i'm a frayed that could wreck it. it sendle sends the u.s. team into negotiations with one hand potentially tied behind their back if they couldn't demonstrate to iran this they could implement a deal if the congress could torpedo the deal afterwards displp.

country is going through. >> salva kiir and riek machar,. >> signature on a dotted line does not necessarily mean lasting peace. they want a binding deal and commitment from their leaders. a power struggle between the president and his former deputy sparked the civil war more than a year ago. the leaders have been fighting ever since. the two are under intense pressure to sign the deal but there is little sense of negotiation between either sides. >> it is not about the political reform. not about political settlement of the people of the certain people that thing you know they are being marginalized. >> but on the other hand, speaks for the rebel group in

opposition. >> the negotiation has refused to deal with the actual root cause of the problem. the government says, the cause is one thing and we say the cause is one thing. i think at the very least either should have said, let us agree to disagree. that at least we have an agreement moving forward when we are talking. >> politics aside these communities workers in a juba suburb have been compiling names of the tens of thousands whoing died in the conflict. they want to create a memorial. they speak for many south sudanese when they say they only want their country to gets out of trouble. catherine soy. al jazeera. official report now from washington, d.c. >> this was the u.s. ambassador seconds after he was attacked

servando gomez what's not clear exactly is what impact that has on ongoing violence in mexico. we've been speaking with the drug enforcement administration in washington and they say it clearly fractures these organized criminal groups and means that over time they are making mexico safer. but on the ground in these communities where these criminal organizations operate it doesn't seem to be bringing down levels of violence. now, this man had a $2 million price on his head from the mexican government and a $5 million reward from the u.s. government on his head. that shows how important both governments see him in leading the organization but there are clearly going to be many people vying to gain control now that he has been taken out ever
