6:05 pm
need to, into the 1st one was when they went to washington and to turn around for the initial talks to try and get both sides to a place where they could talk the very beginning their caches were trying to get them to come to an agreement on the joint comprehensive plan of action nearby and new kid deal. i didn't realize that that was too far away for what they might be able to do. i'm, which is what's happened is a prisoner exchange. about a year later, the around in the american delegation arrived in the hall and the categories. a new between the 2, those 2. so i just said before that i actually met. but the think the go this deal over the line with the $6000000000.00 that was transferred to capital. now let me just tell you about that. it's a little bit complicated. this was a ronnie in money that was seized in sell court. ready by the americans under function rules $6000000000.00. now there was
6:06 pm
a function way of issued by devising it by the administration. that meant that money, it could be transferred from south korea to switzerland, from switzerland to doug. how that happened very early in the morning on monday and that kicked off the present exchange. once the guitar is confirmed, the seats of the money, then everything else could take place. lots of moving parts, but it was very carefully orchestrated. and like i say, for the categories, 3 really big places, but they haven't effect one. is the international diplomacy that didn't washington intel on the diplomacy they did hear about plus the use of the banking system. okay, thank you so much and we're on that as and we're on con for us who has been at the impulse here in the hot with the prisoner swamp. took place only a few minutes ago and while it spring and now whitehouse corresponding kimberly hell kit to talk about the reaction in the us. and that appears like a this isn't going off without a hitch. it's being labeled as a huge success at this point in time. but what is the reaction pain like they are
6:07 pm
in the us to all of this? yeah, there's been criticism that defined administration has really given away too much that it is conceding and encouraging more detention. 9 americans and potentially allowing the ronnie and economy to bounce back at the time that could really hurt us interest. and as a result could really allow for the d stabilization of the region. and so this is open be vitally ministration out to a lot of criticism, particularly by conservatives on capitol hill. but the bible ministration is defending its actions, saying that this was an opportunity to bring americans home and it sees that opportunity. it says that when it comes to the 6000000000 that has been unfrozen, this is money that belong to the iranian people. that it is something that will be vigorously observed in terms of oversight. that this will only be going to
6:08 pm
a humanitarian purposes, whether it's food medicine, medical devices, even agriculture as this was the right thing to, to. and so for his part, joe biden says that he has and makes no apologies for striking this deal. okay, thank you. so much kimberly that is kimberly hook it uh, white house correspondents were going to go to a different medicaid is a james buys who is live at the united nations in jens, i guess, visible uh what's the reaction thing via to, to today's events. a man well that, yeah, well lead is gathering for you and general assembly and the meetings already sausage ahead of the corporate meetings are solid on tuesday for the discussion of the sustainable development goals. this clearly is subject to discussion among different mat, some officials and presidents and foreign ministers and everyone else who is here. we have some reaction that and the last few minutes from the us secretary of state,
6:09 pm
he's also already here in the new new york. and it's me blinking, putting out of state and obviously welcoming what's happened. he said from day one of this administration for the present, i have made it clear we have no high priority with the safety, security of us citizens at home and abroad. he says they now secure the release of the t wrongfully delay detained americans around the world. he goes on to praise the ro, all of the state of cats and the america. so i'm talking about the steadfast involvement around the systems. he talks about them establishing what he says is the humanitarian channel in cat. so that's, that bank account will be heading round to see about the says that will be able to be used by iran to purchase humanitarian goods like food medicine and medical devices, an agricultural product products. so i think specification that from the us exactly what the rom can use, we will take a few minutes here and purposes. the statement seems to be more specific, but also in the statement though, as well as a whole. so,
6:10 pm
praising the republic of korea. this the swiss feather ation and also the state of amman, which are also involved in this process. and he makes it important points about one of the missing us citizen in iraq next pub 11. so he's an ex us federal agent who has to be missing and around for more than 16 years. and it's not clear whether he is in the right in prison up, or whether he's dead, whether he is alive or dead. he says, the rainy and regime is inflicted in on emotional high, you know, both families and they have yet to account for this phase. we once again call upon the writing and reading to give a full accounting of what happened to both levins ok. thank you so much. that is out diplomatic. it is a james phase at the united nations. well, let's take a closer look at the steel cuts out in switzerland have quite a pod of facilitating negotiations between iran and the united states. 3 of the 5
6:11 pm
american prisoners have been named, they all face charges on the espionage and around the washington says the been unjustly detained into 5 iranians accused of secretly working for toronto will be released. the iranian government says that innocence, and have been legally detained as a result of the cruel sanctions. the us allowed to release of around the in funds that were frozen in south korea. that money 1st went to switzerland and then on to calcutta. $6000000000.00 of around in oil revenue is now in the bank accounts. and doug hot, the us is to run, can only use that money for humanitarian needs of us. us lani is a senior research fellow at the middle at the center for middle east strategic studies. he says the agreement is cut off in the don't with a for the end direct talks between around in the us. this is the final phase of the prisoner swab, but this could be a beginning for extended and for the talks on the 2 negotiations as well as lifting
6:12 pm
the sanctions against the run. but there's an issue whether that the americans will be able to do with the, for their election in the us or not at the side thing that talks can move in direction of the targets and the goals of the, the 2015 if the deal. and this is quite important, and so the pool is flow over, effect is important in this regard and this can be a bit new beginning for, for the talks between the one and the united states. however, in the way, they have been discussions that how they can spend this money that you ran and then america size. what they have in common is that these are going to be spend for non science and goods. and i have been hearing from you in, in the officials that will suffice them to, to be able to buy the commodities that they need in the country. so, um, that will not be any, a specific problem in this regard. uh so generally, you know,
6:13 pm
we can put it that it can be use the amount of money for a non sanction goods which can include the humanitarian, the goods or the others as well. but you're not being on the science. mind you dial, i'm sorry, is the spokes person full cutoffs, foreign ministry and advisor to the prime minister. speaking to us from new york. he said, is it taking a long time to bring this deal to fruition? a 2 year affair meetings and visit to both the and the dc took place on behalf of the company officials starting with the 5 minutes to under because the, the minister of the state, the number to facilitate this deal. i think there was a genuine need from all a genuine need from all the parties to each this the disagreements. and that was a lot of the assets on all the parties to each the agreement that had taken place, dates and the in, in the present to also have that i in the endo has to be handed over to the i mean

6:20 pm

6:21 pm
procedures that i'm afraid is also something we must put on hold because you cry. and was very inventive in turning to the quote in its application to have it's right, not to be falsely accused of you, of genocide, as you explained in your helpful opening up to have it looked at gauges at schooled . and so imagine a 2 lower ingle, imaginative use of little by lawyers know something we often see, but really welcome. when we do see it just may lead to this decision being of wider application than i suggest, for farmers in ukraine's northern. so me region science, i am working on the constance rate of attack russian tanks on tillery in the air craft across the board. i have had agriculture lands, hundreds of times, residents describe a systematic campaign, a fed, so investor, avi, has moved from the village. if kendra terrifica of the harvesting season in wartime,
6:22 pm
ukraine, navigating open fields near the russian border means risking land mines and unexploded phones always keeping one eye on the sky for drones, missiles and russian artillery. it could just be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. would the people's lives are a priority. we only work when we know it's safe and there was no for us to learn. we take every precaution here, some of our fields a mind. there are other fields we cannot get to because the road to mind of much of the farms in sumi region are no go areas because of russian munitions left behind or ukrainian land mines place there. as a deterrent winner, russian shell hit her farm. tatiana lost 27 head of cattle. she describes unrelenting russian attacks and says to me, needs more help me in the bar trick versions,
6:23 pm
slide drones every day and watch what is happening here. these spots us an open fire. they are shooting that civilians. there's no military here and they know this, but they still open fire damage from artillery and showing it's fairly common in places like this in the assuming region. and that's because we're only a few kilometers away from the border. russian positions are set to be just beyond those power lines behind me. but this is not a normal front line. there are no tanks or trenches or troop movements. none the less communities here say they come under attack on in your daily basis. just as we arrived, a drone dropped of grenades damaging a nearby cell tower, further isolating people here, as a russian attack also damaged the local school and leveled the only hospital in this village. many have left. those still here show signs of stress and depression. so it's no fair is fair. what else is about to say i'm considering
6:24 pm
leaving? i have 2 children and it's terrifying to live. hey, i feel terrible. i feel that i don't want to do anything i can't get used to. it will give it to me. so the mining work to make farm land viable again could take 10 years and will only begin after the war. for now, russia continues to target entire villages near the border. ukrainians carry on unwilling to leave. but i'm sure how much longer they can stay. the same bus route of the old to 0. kendra teeth village in ukraine suit, we reach the united nations chief antonio gutierrez, has demanded a global risk. you plan to revive stoled targets to technical issues such as hunger, poverty and climate change. he was speaking ahead of the you in general assembly in

6:32 pm
a group of 5 american iranians have arrived and are hot for me to run a short while ago. the anthony blinking spoke a short time ago, the secretary of state for the united states a short time ago in new york. out of prison and now in doha, on route back to the united states to be reunited with their loved ones. 5 of the 7 of course, had been unjustly detained in prisons and around some for years to others have been prevented from leaving a road. i spoke to them after they landed in doha. i can tell you that it was for them. for me, an emotional conversation. it's easy and the work that we do every day, sometimes to get is lost in the attractions of foreign policy and
6:33 pm
relations with other countries and forgetting the human element that's at the heart of everything we do. but today their freedom, the freedom of these americans for so long, unjustly imprisoned and detained in iran. mean some pretty basic things. it means that husbands and wives, fathers and children, grandparents can hug each other. you can see each other again can be with each other again. so today that i'm grateful for. um, i want to thank a number of partners who been so vital to helping us reach the stay. particularly our partners in amman, switzerland, cutter, the united kingdom. each is played a very important role in enabling us to free our fellow citizens.
6:34 pm
i'd also like to thank an extraordinary team, the state department and throughout the united states government that isn't working to achieve this result for, for years now. as happy as we are at the freedom of our fellow citizens. and we also are thinking today above levenson who is not among them and who is presumed deceased bob's legacy, however, lives on it lives on powerfully. in the 11th snack, which has given us new and important tools to help track down on and deter the practice of taking americans unlawfully to try to turn them into political pons and to abuse the international system. and now, in that way, is one of the things that i heard in my conversation with, with our fellow citizens who are now free, is their own determination. their own commitment,
6:35 pm
their own conviction to continuing this work to making sure that other americans who are unjust be detained anywhere in the world. come home to date under this administration, we have now brought 30 americans home from places around the world where they were being unjustly detained. that work will continue. at the same time, we're going to be working every single day to take steps to make this practice more and more difficult and more and more of a burden on those countries that engaged. and you'll see in the days ahead here in new york at the united nations, our efforts to work with other countries to, to do just that. but for today, for this moment, it's very good to be able to say that our fellow citizens are free after in, during something that i think it would be difficult for any of us to imagine that
6:36 pm
their families will soon have them back among them. and that in this moment, at least i have something very joyful to report. finally, let me say that throughout this effort, throughout the work we've done to bring so many other americans home. president biden has demonstrated that he's prepared to make tough and difficult decisions. i have no higher priority, the president has no prior higher priority than making sure that americans who are on justly detained anywhere as i can come home. and we'll continue that works in the days and thank you.
6:37 pm
thank you. well, 2 things. first, let me be very clear that this process the, any engagements necessary to bring it about the freedom of these on justly detained americans. has always been a separate track in our engagement or for that matter, lack of engagement with a ron. so irrespective of what was happening or not happening, for example, in pursuing the effort to return to the nuclear agreement, we've been focused on working independently to bring these americans home. so it doesn't speak to anything else. and the relationship as we continue to be determined to take whatever step is necessary to deal with actions by iran and a whole host of areas that are profoundly objectionable. and many other countries find objectionable at the same time when it comes to perhaps the number one issue of concern which is around the nuclear program. we continue to believe the diplomacy is the best way to get a sustainable,
6:38 pm
effective result. one that we had previously with the around nuclear agreement and we'll continue to see if there are opportunities for that in this moment. we're not engaged on that, but we'll see in the future if there are opportunities. but present biden's also been very clear that one way or another he's committed to ensuring that iran never required unclear what i. i wouldn't that disappeared anything this week we're focused today on the fact that these americans are now free after having endured something that i think most of us can't possibly imagine. in one case, one of our fellow americans is in prison for 8 years unjustly. and that's what we're focused on for today.
6:39 pm
okay, thank you. uh, in fact, when we uh, when we met with our gc colleagues, our fellow americans had not yet arrived in dogs. so we didn't want to get ahead of that process. have you said that as a mentions to countries in particular, play to an absolutely vital role in helping to get us to the state. and that is a mountain cutter. as for the other members of the gcc, i've had occasion over the past many months to, to talk to them about the relationship with iran, which is a challenge for each and every one of them,
6:40 pm
including for us and to discuss in that context. some of the efforts that we were making to bring home or wrongfully detained. american. so again, i don't want to speak for them, but i think everyone is supportive of that, of that effort. with regard to the, the, the resources i think it's very important to be very clear about exactly what this involved. as you know, this involved the access buyer on to its own money. money that had accumulated in korean bank as the result of oil sales that are on made, which were lawful at the time. those sales for me and from day one our sanctions have clearly and indeed always exempt the use of resources for the amount of training purposes. because our, our aim is not to harm the iranian people. our problem, our profound problem is with the iranian regime. so from day one,
6:41 pm
these are ronnie and moneys that were in a, in a korean bank have always been available to around to use for the amount of train purposes. but for a lot of technical reasons, they weren't able to access those funds where they were. so the funds were moved to another bank where we have absolute oversight of how they, how they're used. and they can only be used for the amount of training purposes. and we have absolute confidence in the process and the system that's been set up by the way, the previous administration administration prior to work or is it set up a similar mechanism that was never used but exactly for these kinds of purposes. so we're very confident that the funds, the iranian funds that have been made more easily available to iran as a result of the actions that we've taken will be used exclusively free amount of training purposes. and we have the means and mechanisms to make sure that that
6:42 pm
happens. thanks very much. what that was, the us secretary of side anthony blinking, they're speaking about the prison. this will be city, spoke to the release prisoners shortly after they landed in doha, cooling it, an emotional conversation. he also defended the deals, saying that freeing the unjustly detained as a top priority of the us government. he was that we don't to say that the us will continue to see if there are opportunities for diplomacy to the hotel rig ripples and northern law. the site they have sees control of 2 military bases and the town of glory near the border with more tiny and violence has escalated. since you in peacekeeping troops began withdrawing from the north pole out was demanded by molly's june to coordinate his side considering mobilizing the
