editor james bays with more. >> after hours of intense negotiations into the night the key players here said it was an historic deal. it's opponents believe it's a dangerous historic mistake even one of the main negotiators admitted it was very much a compromise agreement. >> we're reaching an agreement that is not perfect for anybody finance it isage important achievement for all of us. >> in washington, d.c. the president promised if congress tried to block the deal he'll act. >> it's not clear if it was order nateed in advance but immediately after the u.s. president spoke his iranian counterpart followed suit. today is a new beginning. the beginning of a new trend.

the beginning of happiness, the beginning of hope, the beginning of a better future for young people and a binning for our beloved iran. >> i'm convinced that the political will of the iranian leadership is there to try to use this window of opportunity we have to build trust in a constructive way. we have an opportunity to show constructive engagement. >> the last sticking points resolved in this luxury hotel about the lifting of u.n. sanctions. the most controversial compromise were the decision the

restrictions could be released in five years. you could expect these will once again be the most scrutinized parts of this deal. >> the deal remains a contentious issue. john brennan has more. >> first gatherers were seen eve on the meal marking the end end end of the ramadan fest fasting. many are glad to see an end to their problems. >> every iranian will be happy. we went through a lot over the years. well i'm happy any way. >> my personal opinion is that i

wish they had done this sooner, that we wouldn't have to go through all these difficulties. >> for sure it's at good feeling. removing the sanctions that have put a lot of pressure on our country, and maybe would say everything is okay. but you can see the effects of piano. >> the negotiations dragged on for a research. they consider the nuclear activity as a right. their position has been endorsed by iran's stream supreme leader. he praised the endeavors of the team in vienna. when he ran for president in 2013, rouhani vowed to bring

an end to the sanctions that were hurting the people. he also promised not to crumble in the face of demands. it has the support from the very top. as with any major political decision in this country nothing goes ahead without the approval of the scream leader. >> i think they will stick to it because they will see that this deal is--is a success. it is not something that is bad. iran traded transparentcy for sanction relief. and that is fair and in general opinion in iran. >> it's chief negotiator conceded this was not a perfect deal but iran managed to maintain its position as a tough negotiating partner and help its economy in the process.

paul brennon al jazeera. >> well, u.s. pratt barack obama is making his case to the american people that he got the best deal possible with iran. but he has to convince progress to go along with it. patty culhane reports. >> americans woke up to an unusual. address for the public and sending a warning to the long. >> this is not the time for politics. tough talk from congress does not solve problems. hillary clinton who is running for president endorsed the deal. >> this is putting a lid on iran's nuclear program.

>> but republicans intend to put up a fight. >> we're going to hand over a dangerous regime this is not about democrats or republicans. it's not a partisan issue at all. it's about right versus wrong. >> the government lobby in washington is expected to push very hard in congress against the deal and the scheduled lifting of u.s. sanctions. but they admit that it's going to be very difficult to scuttle this landmark agreement. >> it would be a transform pot ing it's a very big entry in president obama's legacy book. >> a win for the president's bigcy. now he just has to convince the

congress that it's a win for him as well. >> let's cross lines to capitol hill in washington, d.c. what can the u.k. do to block this deal? >> well, they can plain. this is an employer deal international deal. this congress can't stop president obama from going to the u.n. security council and instructing his ambassador to go to the resolution, and they can't stop the rest of the world and so on. but what they can do is talk a great deal about whether this is the in the best interest of the u.s. when does the 60-day period begin. it begins officially where all

the details officially are briefed. then they're likely to pass a vote of disapproval. they can pass the simple majority, that's when it becomes a little more complicated. the president said that he'll veto that. that's when things get more difficult. in order to override the presidential veto there needs to be two-thirds support to do so in both the house of representatives and the senate, and that looks a bit difficult. interestingly, we just heard about hillary clinton's comments about how she supported the deal. that's going to go a long way in the democratic party to remember having said that in the last hour we've had interesting comments, and we're

trying to if you go out whether that means there might be some debait about the hard line. but that has yet to be scene. but certainly right now the consensus is that it's very difficult for republickens, hawks, for that matter. and all they can do is u.s.-unilateral sanctions as the rest of the world opens up. this has been described as a historic mistake. how might israeli opposition play into the reaction from the u.s. congress? >> this knee jerk is not really working.

there is a powerful lobbies here on capital hill, but even they have statements where they say look, we have concerns. but let's go through the review period and see what is actually in the field. right now it's interesting. it may not be so much the israeli lobby but the commercial lobby here in the u.s. >> thank you. >> well, the u.s. president has been on the phone with israel's prime minister trying to reassure him that the agreement will not endanger israel's national security. we have more on that now from west jerusalem. >> hours before iran's nuclear deal with global powers was formerly announceed. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu made a televised statement denouncing the agreement.

>> this is a bad mistake of historic for portions. >> he made a statement later on in the day after reviewing the deal and his criticisms were even more pointed. >> the world is a more dangerous place today than it was yesterday. >> net hadnetanyahu is under pressure by those at home who blame him for preventing the deal. >> obama is going to be president. no one knows who is going to be the president. there could be two or three presidents who can embrace each other. >> now they're trying to get all this money and they're going

fund even more terrorism. it has made everything so bad. >> iran, just like north korea cannot be trusted. i hope that the u.s. congress, the house of representatives and the senate will go over this agreement very carefully. >> the united states congress has 60 days to review the agreement. netanyahu will use that time to pressure his allies in the republican and democrats parties to reject them. but president obama has already said that he would veto any bill that would block the deal. the agreement between iran and global global powers, applications across the spectrum have criticized the deal saying any kind of nuclear program poses an extension existential

threat. but there is very little that they can do about it. >> this there is much more to come. the campaign to discourage young british girls from traveling from iraq to syria to join isil. also a close encounter nasa's aircraft swings by pluto after it's decades-long journey.

>> welcome back to al jazeera. let's take you to the top

stories. iran has agreed to an historic nuclear deal that will see iran limit its activities. there have been celebrations. hundreds of people gathering on tehran after the ramadan fastened. many are sounding car horns to show their appreciation. and iran's supreme leader has expressed thanks to the iranian leaders who hammered out the deal. >> iran's trade with the european union which totals $8.3 billion last year could balloon 400%. and one analyst predicted that the economy could accelerate 7%

to 8% in the coming years to match the growth of the economies during the boon years. now a former iranian diplomat who joins me in studio. thank you very much for coming to speak to us. what could this deal potentially mean for iran's economy and for iranian businesses? >> well, i think it opens up a whole new host of opportunities. iran has the potential to become an economy like china. it is hat potential to become the top 10-15 leading economic leaders in the world in 10-15 years time because of the potential of the country which has been subdued and disregarded because of various problems.

the pension is use. the right decisions have to be taken. the government has to stick with these policies, which has initiated in the course of the last two years. stay away from the kinds of policies that has been pursued before by ahmadinejad and so on, and essentially follow this line. >> what about the immediate challenges facing iran? could this create problems between iran and it's names neighbors? >> i think this deal could be used as a way to resolve differences with its neighbors. the tone has been generally conciliatory. but the fact that iran has legitimate rights in the region, some of which conflict with the

but the fact is that there must be an interesting understanding that iran has legitimate rights to pursue those without being no one conflict with them. >> what needs to be the catalyst to bring about that recognition? could the u.s. potentially step in now? >> i think this is not something that involves western governments or should involve western governments. iran should deal directly with these countries themselves. >> do you think there is a challenge there with talks of saudi arabia? >> i think there are open channels of nations. confidence building needs to be started. positive steps need to be taken

combating isis is a mutual area that all parties have a common interest. that could be a very good start and building confidence that iran does not wish to encroach in areas. these are areas that can be discuss: i think the potential can be discussed and the potential is huge there. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> let's move to some of the other stories that we're covering now. in yemen the defeat for houthi fight certificates a combination of a battle in the city and lost control of aden's police headquarters. staying in that city firefighters are struggleing to extinguish a blaze at an oil refinery. local authorities have called to send in five firefighting aircraft to help put out the

blaze. fighting in yemen has announceed a cruise announcement between houthi and coalition forces last week. >> this baby has leg injuries and it has been brought to the teaching hospital in sanaa. the doctors and nurses are overwhelmed by the number of people who need help. there aren't enough beds so elderly patients way in the corridors for treatment. >> we are under ongoing aggression, and cases are increasing daily. most of the cases are from the war. we need certain equipment, and we do what we can with what is available. >> suffering from kidney failure. he's worried about how long he'll survive if he doesn't get the medicine he needs. >> we're suffering because of the situation in yemen. the regular power outages, the

shortages of medication and equipment. i'm a father of eight children and need support. i need medication from the hospitalish and it only provides me with blood. >> the hospital is short of staff, medicine, and electricity. it's received some aid from charities but needs more to meet patient demand. >> we need urgent aid to cope with the situation. >> they warned of the consequences that the war is having on yes, ma'am's health system that is now close to collapse. >> the greek finance ministry said that the bail out has been submitted to parliament.

some members are preparing to vote against the bill. speaking on tuesday prime minister alexis tsipras defended the deal made in brussels. >> we'll need to agree to the most wishes of the most powerful people in europe. we had the reforms required of us or to go bankrupt and leave the eurozone. >> mother than 8,000 people have been left the secured area. the area will be policed by french authorities. meanwhile, counterterrorism police say 43 british women and girls have traveled to syria in the past year. among them are three school girls. it's feared many more will leave during the upcoming school

summer holidays in britain. the police have reached have created a campaign to help. >> a tunnel used by joakhin "el chapo" guzman was used in his escape from a mexico prison. >> in the far distance you can make out the max security prison from which the country's number one drug lord, joachin guzman nicknamed "el cchopo" escaped. that tunnel had ventalation lighting and even a motorcycle possibly to ship out the huge amounts of effort that would

need to be needed to move create the tunnel. the director of the prison has already been final along with other officials and a full-scale manhunt is under way to catch guzman. really at this point its anyone's guess where he could be. >> nasa's new horizon spacecraft has made the closest visit ever to pluto. >> about the size of a grand piano, the probe was launched in 2006. it has taken over nine years and a journey of more than 5 billion kilometers to reach its goal, the with dwarf planet

pluto. >> it was a real opportunity to test the equipment with the cameras. we have really nice images from jupiter. this will show 50 meters inside on the surface of were you toe. which is complete unprecedence. whatever this will show it will be an amazing discovery. >> traveling at 1,000 kilometers a minute, the equipment has sent back surprising images. instead of being gray as previously thought, were you toe appears to have a red and orange surface. >> we have seen these crazy black and white patterns. we have no idea what those mean. we've seen circular things, are they craters or are they something else?

so we should know in a few days. but right now we're having an awful lot of fun just speculating. >> after flying past were you toe, new horizons will continue its journey in a region known as the cypa belt. >> the materials of the planet change from rock and gas to ice. and this is--pluto is the first of this object to have been discovered and we know very little about it. in these kind of objects we expect to find a little bit more evidence of the pristine material out of which this solar system and the earth, of course, was formed, more than 4.5 million years ago. >> radio signals from new horizons already take more than four hours to reach earth making communications slow and difficult.

it's an ongoing challenge for the scientists as the probe travels deeper into one of the last unexploreed paths of our solar system. >> well, you can get more on everything we're covering in this programmer and more on our website. that's where you need to go. www.aljazeera.com. >> 20 months of talking and deadlines coming and going but diplomats decided it was worth pushing forward. now it's a done deal, an agreement that president obama said will block iran's load to developing a nuclear bomb. a deal that american negotiators say does not rely on trust but verification. still lots of questions to be asked and details to begin.
