4:05 am
deal. they are not happy. we shouldn't be surprised if they play games and come up with last-minute excuses. the devil is in the detail. at the end of the day this is what the nation wants. this is what the leader asks the negotiation team to do. we are more than happy to see a breakthrough. we owe the success to the international security. we give a chance to sort out the situation with the west diplomatically. we have a long way ahead of us. we need to prove with actions that they are serious, that they don't have anything from a nuclear programme, except for peaceful applications like producing drugs and stuff like that. this is just the beginning. those not happy, the hard liners in iran they should cabinet along with this. this is what the leader said. they were happy - everybody
4:06 am
should support them. >> everywhere will support them. >> will the hardliners try to scuffle the deal before the june 30th deadline. >> yes, we have the parliament. it has the majority of the conservatives or the hardliners. they may do something to derail the dole or stop the government from cooperating with the international community, for a simple fact that this is not just about the nuclear programme. we have two elections ahead of us. the parliamentary elections and the assembly of experts. with this win/win situation for the government there's no doubt whether or not so far that they'll win both the elections, the parliamentary and the assembly of experts elections, as for the presidential race within two years time. don't doubt about it. that the president hassan rouhani doesn't have to do anything like having a presidential campaign. he can - he can sit in the
4:07 am
comfort of his house and declare victory for a second time as the president. that's why the hard liners are not happy. that's why they might try to start playing games against a government and the details of the deal. as i said this is what the people want. they need the backing of the people. if they don't have it. they will not succeed. they will not succeed. >> good to talk to you. thanks for being with us. >> now, to yemen where houthi fighters and allies withdrew from a strategic hilltop complex. according to saudi arabia the coalition that they are leading carried out more air raids overnight. the u.s. military has been given the authority to provide aerial refuelling support to saudi war planes. the u.s. estimates 519 have been killed over the past two weeks. more than 90 were children. tens of thousands were forced from their homes, and living

4:09 am
aden - a week of this saudi coalition, air strikes appears to have done little to stop their advance. they were able to get there and take the hilltop. >> actually. they were not able to infiltrate. they were there in aden. this was sleeping cells. most of the security was in the hands of the former deposed act who was a dictator and came out. unfortunately, because of the wider operations the allied forces - they were confident. they didn't infiltrate as people. yemenis look the same. you can't difficult ren sheet who is whoa. they got into crater. like the volcano, the opening of the volcano. i am sure the people will come with the white flags.

the worst thing is the civilians suffering in aden. >> you talk about the civilians suffering, and you think that they will succumb to this campaign, the saudi arabia campaign. how long will it take how many more civilians will have to die before this reaches some sort of apex? >> i'm pointing to aden. elsewhere, if the allied forces do not go in force. this man is on the run. we haven't seen him targeted. his palaces are where he is and the stronghold of the houthis in the north. i am sure if the allied forces concentrate they can take the stronghold. because the tribes are they close, if an effort is concentrated on them. it could fall into the hands of allied forces. >> good to talk to you. now, kenya's president uhuru
