may allow if this does get voted in both chambers and it is a vote in support of rejectioning the agreement, what would happen is it would have to go to the president's desk, and he would have to veto it. something that the white house doesn't want to have to do. the president has only done it four times since assuming the presidency, but it is the optics of having to veto that, it does not bode well for the long term environment, an agreement that many top dels argue is really the best option for limiting iran's nuclear program. >> this is a peace treaty, with iran or a gift out of the goodness of our hearts. if we trusted iran we wouldn't need the video cameras and all matter of technology to make sure they comply. we aren't asking them to promise anything. we are demanding iran prove to us it's complying with every last letter of this agreement.

house. they really see no better option. >> in washington, thank you. >> pope francis has brought in radical retomorrows for the way members of the catholic church want a divorce can annul their marriages. the new law brought in makes it much simply for bishops to judge when a marriage is invalid in the eyes of the church. the old system was criticized as too complicated and costly for people in poorer nations and. >> othe public seem to approve. >> i believe in that he should do something. for the catholic religion, and times have changes. >> i think it is a very positive change. times unfortunately change, couples change, everything changes. and i think the pope through

these changes he is introducing is bringing the church more up to date, something his spread says tors have always resisted. >> the opposition leader has called on politician to ensure that november elections are free, and fair. she says the poll will be the first chance in decades to bryn about real change. she is also asking the community to guarantee a small transition after the vote the last general election was held under military rule, and was widely condemned as rigged. >> well, martial arts is not very well known outside of the country. international sanctions and travel restrictions have stopped the sport from attracting an international profile. but that is starting to change. with fast becoming a martial arts sensation. this report. >> it was once considers the
