serious doubts are raised over iran's nuclear talks as monday's deadline fast approaches. is the option to extend a possibility? no word from ferguson, missouri in the case of michael brown shooting. the grand jury decision is pushed back. we have more details on that coming up later in our show. and ukraine's eastern war shows no mercy for its

residents, human and animal alike. hello and welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm zain asher. an iranian official says reaching a deal by monday is impossible. that's according to a news agency in iran. now negotiations have been working all weekend to come to an agreement. and some say that big gaps remain in those talks. now we're going to be heading live to vienna and tehran in just a minute. but first we explain what the debate is all about. >> reporter: the talks involve seven nations and several issues. but think of it overall as a trade. what will iran give up, and what will it get in return? the west among other thing wants iran to limit its capacity to enrich uranium, the process that produces nuclear fuel but at higher levels can arm a nuclear weapon as well. iran says it isn't trying to build a nuclear weapon and says

that international law protects its right to a peaceful nuclear program. and in fact its president, rouhani says that nuclear weapons, in his words contradict their fundamental religious and ethical conditions. but it has a history of hiding things. among them, the enrichment facility which was discovered by satellites and spies built underground. so how many centrifuges should they be allowed to operate, how far should the enrichment process be allowed to go. should russia take some of the uranium enrichment, and how far should penetration be to check for cheating? talks on those issues touch on iran's sovereignty, about its suspicions about the west's

intentions and its need to break free from crippling sanctions. it is sanctions that/ran want addressed. how quickly and completely will t the united nations and u.s. stop sanctions. from saudi arabia to the u.s. senate, there is enorm muss skepticism about what any agreement will be worth. all which explains why there hasn't been an agreement until now. okay, well, let's get more now on this weekend's meetings. and i am joined live from vienna a and tehran. how hopeful are we that a deal is going to be reached in time? >> reporter: i think from what we're hearing from the

semi-official news agency, they feel that it is not possible to get a complete agreement by the deadline monday. it's really an indication that certainly what we've been hearing from all other parties here that it will be tough. they're saying now it's completely impossible. they're also saying that this, from the semi-official iranian news agency saying that an option to extend the talks is on the table. now what the state department is saying at the moment, a senior state department official tells cnn that really the focus, the focus at the moment is still on trying to get a deal done. according to one senior state department official, there are still key decisions, big decisions that the iranians need to take. and every effort is still being made at meetings to move things forward. secretary of state john kerry is due to meet with his iranian counterpart, his eu counterpart

in the next few hours, and they continue to chip away at all the issues that remain. but it is a process of incrementally moving forward, still. that's what we're being told with the focus still on the deadline. however, when we listen to what john kerry had to say yesterday, it's clear that optimism isn't high on his side either. this is what he said. >> within, obviously having difficult talks here, complicated topic. we're working hard. we hope we're making careful progress. but we have big gaps. we still have some serious gaps, yes we're working to close. the good thing is, we are united and working in concert. and we're simply not going to say anything substantive about the discussions wheel they're

going on, but a lot of serious work is going on by a lot of people. >> reporter: so that was secretary of state kerry yesterday when he weighs meeting with walter steinmire. but to frame this as the state department puts it, there are not talks about an extension yet. they won't get to that until perhaps later tonight, zane. >> so they haven't talked about an extension yet. as negotiations continue, do we know if the six western countries involved are all on the same page? are are there divisions within that group? >> reporter: well, this is something that secretary kerry made mention of yesterday when he was talking, and he did say that everyone is in the same position, and it is interesting to hear what, sergey lavrov said

everything was on the table there for iran. certainly what we're hearing from all parties. we hear from the british foreign sent on friday, when he was here, he sounds very much in step with what we've heard from kerry, from lavrov. from the german foreign minister. they're all saying pretty much the same thing. so publicly, at least, they seem to be in lock step on this issue, despite obviously many differences on many other international issues. >> okay. we'll see what the next 36 hours bring, okay, nick robertson, we appreciate it. rhesa, the final decision remains with rouhani. how much pressure are they under? >> reporter: zain, he's under a

lot of pressure. remember when rouhani ran last year, he promised better relations with the international community. he promised that he'd get these sanctions lifted with the agreement with the p 5 plus one. if this doesn't happen, if rouhani doesn't deliver, a lot of prime going to be disappointed, and perhaps hardliners who are against these talks to begin with, they're going to be rejuvenated, empowered. however, he does seem to have some things in his favor. here in iran, based on what we've observed, you get the impression that many iranians believe that iran has made an ea earnest effort. remember, for the past year, iran has not enriched uranium beyond 5%. it has downblended and eliminated all of its 20% enriched uranium. it has agreed to reconfigure the

iraq heavy water factory and agreed not to make any advancements. it has also agreed to increase inspections. so their position is they've made compromises, and most iranians believe it's the west that's not being flexible enough. so that seemingly lifts some pressure off mr. rouhani in three can come back to iran and say we tried, and it was the west that was inflexible, but a lot of pressure remains on, especially with the economy. people want better lives, better economy, much of that linked to the sanctions that will not be lifted or eased without an agreement tomorrow. >> and you bring me to my next point, which is of course those sanctions. i know iran desperately wants those lifted. iran's economy has struggled under these sanctions. tell me what iran's economic future will look like once these economic sanctions are lifted. i imagine it will be very

different. >> reporter: it would have a huge impact. and that's why many people here in iran and many people investors are so eager to see some kind of deal. remember, iran's economy is dependent on oil exports, the sanctions have cut in half iran's oil exports. it has cut off iran from the international banks system. if these sanctions are lifted, iran starts exporting oil, generating a lot of money. it can use the international banks system. that, obviously, improves trade. despite the sanction, iran is a top car produce ner this region, a top steel exporter. many say what would happen without these sanctions. so a lot of possibilities, only if sanctions are lifted. but unfortunately at this point in time no indication that that's going to happen with an agreement tomorrow. >> yeah, and even if the nuclear deal is reached, chances are the west will gradually reduce the sanctions so as to monitor the

situation. okay. thank you, live there in tehran. we appreciate it. well iraqi military and tribal forces are battling isis in the city of ramadi. fighting broke out after isis launched a coordinated attack from different directions around the city. so far at least 23 tribes men and 12 isis militants have died in the fighting. it has happened close to the main government complex of anbar province. if the complex is lost, it could mean the fall of the entire province. bracing for the worst, but hoping for the best. we're going to take you live to ferguson, missouri. plus comedian bill cosby breaks his silence on the latest sexual assault allegations against him. find out what he has to say when we come back. r. look, credit karma-- are you talking to websites again?

welcome back, everyone. former washington, d.c. mayor, marion barry is dead. he made headlines when he was caught smoking cocaine during a sting operation. he spent six months in prison, then promptly resumed his political career. he successfully ran for mayor winning a fourth term.

he returned to the city council years later and was still serving at the time of his death. no word yet on the cause. we do know that marion barry was 78 years old. okay, we turn now to the unrest in ferguson, missouri. certainly, along with the rest of the world, has to wait until monday to learn the long-awaited grand jury decision. now protesters are demanding that the grand jury indict a white police officer for killing an unarmed black teenager over the summer. this was three months ago. ferguson and the surrounding areas are bracing for the decision. >> reporter: with no decision yet, protests continue in and around ferguson, missouri. three people were arrested friday night. police say they were blocking traffic, refusing to get off the streets. people in the city are waiting for the grand jury's decision. >> the anxiety has set back in. >> reporter: on the streets in ferguson, some businesses are

bored up, churches are ready to open their doors to anyone taking shelter from the protests. >> it's a place of peace, safety, non-violence. having places where people can gather themselves, can center. >> reporter: in neighboring clayton, missouri, workers are putting up barricades around the st. louis county justice center where the grand jury has been meeting for months now. back in ferguson, emotions still flaring up on the spot where everything started. michael brown's family still waiting to find out if charges will be filed against the man who shot and killed their son on this very spot three months ago. >> michael brown's parents, his family is united saying they want people to be peaceful. they want people to be calm. >> reporter: president obama echoing the call for peace as the community is left waiting for what comes next. >> yeah, that community certainly on edge.

well, if violence or unrest does brake out, missouri's governor plans to call in the national guard. last week he called for a national emergency. he says the government actions actually make the tensions worse. >> the people who are proeting now are extremely peaceful the and that's what we have been pushing for for the last few weeks, peaceful protests. letting protesters know it's okay to protest and be angry but not okay to damage property, not okay to burn down businesses. i think it was way too premature and heightens the anxiety level within the city. >> and show went on to say that the governor's state of emergency declaration was actually used incorrectly according to the law. okay, well we turn to the troubling p.r. nightmare for bill cosby. more women are coming forward

saying he sexually assaulted them. there are more allegations that his lawyers strong armed journalists who tried to report the story more than a decade ago. >> reporter: at least three more women have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct by bill cosby, joining ten others who've talked to various media outlets in the last several days. none of the stories have been independently verified. but in many cases the women say they believe they were drugged. >> that particular time is when we had had lots of back and forth words. he was very upset. he wanted me to come to the show. once again, it was his pre-show dinner he'd always have in his dressing room, and i appeared and had coffee, drink, and that's about all i remember, actually.

>> reporter: cosby had stayed silent as the allegations piled up. but friday night he broke that silence, telling the newspaper "florida today", i know people are tired of me not saying anything, but a guy doesn't have to answer to innuendos. people should fact check. people shouldn't have to go through that and shouldn't answer to innuendos. the allegations are more than just innuendo. many of them are specific, detailed stories told by 13 women. as women continue to come forward, members of the media are also speaking out, saying they tried to dig deeper into the allegations against cosby but were strong armed by his lawyers. a contributor for the daily eye beast says that his story for another news organization years ago was stymied by his lawyers. >> marty singer, bill cosby's lawyer said for us to report on this, we are doing so at our own

peril. >> reporter: another allegation of interference comes from robin mizrahi who says she was working on a cosby story in the mid 2000s but was shut down when cosby's lawyers talked them to trading the story for an exclusive interview with cosby. american media said they stand by their coverage, telling the guardian newspaper that the inquirer, quote, more than any other publication was unflinn offing of their coverage of the allegations of mr. cosby, beginning in 2000 when everyone else was avoiding the story. cosby's lawyer, martin singer did not respond to cnn's questions about the allegation of media obstruction. but he did say the new claims, quote, have escalated far past the point of absurditying, saying it is long pastime for

this media vil any cation of mr. cosby to stop. his website has scheduled appearances listed for almost every week until may. >> that was sarah gannon there. police are in pursuit of militants who ambushed a bus and killed about 28 people. police say here's what happened. the militants boarded the bus. asked the passengers on board to recite the koran, and they ended up shooting those who couldn't do it. so kenyan security forces and helicopters and jets tracked down and demolished the operation camp. the attackers said that the attack was on retaliation for a raid on a mosque last week. people in buffalo, new york dig themselves out from a brutal snowstorm. but a big weather change could

at a school sending dozens of children to a hospital. and at least five homes crumbled to the ground as another strong earthquake shook a village, sending several people to hospitals. it was a 6.2 magnitude earthquake and it also triggered several landslides. tokyo electric says no facilities including nuclear power plants were damaged. more than two meters of snow have been pushed aside in new york and shovels and plows are now being replaced by sandbags ahead of what could be heavy flooding. >> reporter: walls of snow lining the streets in the buffalo area. a visual of just how much snow has fallen in the last few days but the massive cleanup. they're satisfied with how the snow removal operations are going, but time is of the essence, because the fork shows warmer temperatures coming.

there is a possibility of flooding. a number of personnel are being moved here in case of flooding. 50 swift water rescue boats have been brought, hundreds of water pum pumps. national guards men ready to respond. there could be greater flooding than this area has seen in a very long time. if the forecast holds and if temperatures warm up as quickly as they're predicted to, some of this snow melting off very quickly will cause this flooding we're concerned about. also rain in the forecast making the snow very heavy and the concern about roofs collapsing. a lot of people out trying to do the shoveling and get the snow off the roof. the hope is that the temperature will warm up more gradually, that more snow can be removed before people in buffalo face a more severe weather situation. back to you. we want to get more now on those rising temperatures. and i'm joined by eric van

damme. rising temperatures are supposed to be a good thing. you've got flooding in buffalo, how bad is the flooding going to be? >> it's the fact that they've had so much snow in a short period of time. and now the temperatures are going from freezing. and it's going to allow for the frozen precipitation being the snow, to melt and melt rather quickly. and a lot of times what happens with this amount of snow is it can actually clog some of the drains as some of the, let's call them little miniature icebergs float down the streets and clog the sewers. that could lead to localized urban flooding. obviously they have quite a mess to contend with going over the next 48 to 72 hours. then the temperatures take another drastic turn for, cold, colder, to 2 degrees at least, celsius. that is around 36 degrees

fahrenheit. still above freezing, but temperatures overnight should continue to drop below freezing for the second part of next week. this is the broader scale of the storm that's going to move through the region. the low's going to be centered around michigan and the great lakes. but it's going to send a band of precipitation across western new york state. and that is going to be in the form of rain before the backside of the system cools off and allows for chillier weather to settle in and even more snowfall across michigan. but we do have flood warnings in effect for erie county. those areas hardest hit last week that flood warning is extended from sunday into wednesday. we also have the possibility of severe weather across the gulf states thanks to the low pressure system that's going to drive that moisture across new york. at the moment it's kind of brewing across gulf of mexico. it's pulling in that warm,

tropical moist air. you can see the rainfall expected across atlanta. any your see the shading of orange there is the possibility of severe weather. look at this from nasa, tracking carbon dioxide. picking up on forest fires in africa, but more interesting to note, you can see the co2 plumes across the united states, europe, and china. very, very interesting to know. back to you. >> you mentioned the bad weather across atlanta. i can't complain, especially given what the people in buffalo, new york are going through. we appreciate it as always. isis militants have released a new recruitment video. why they are trying to get young people in france to join their

the u.s. state of missouri. that community certainly on edge right now. the panel is deciding if a white police officer should be charged with a crime in the shooting of an unarmed black teenager. that happened back in august. sources tell cnn the grand jury will convene on monday again. former washington d.c. mayor marion barry is dead at the age of 78. no word yet on the cause of his death. he spent four decades in city politics despite an arrest in 1990 for smoking crack cocaine and spending time in prison. former washington, d.c. mayor marion barry is dead at the age of 78. iraqi forces are battling isis militants in ramadi. 23 tribes men and 12 militants have died on the battle zins

friday. if the complex is lost, it mean the fall of the entire province. a new video has been released aimed at recruiting young people in france. we take a look at the video and show you why french authorities are increasingly concerned. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> reporter: the message in the isis video could not be more clear. french young people should not hesitate to join the battle for islamic state in syria. the gunmen, at least three of them speak native french, burned french passports and driver's licenses. there is an easy answer as to why isis terrorists teame seem to be aiming their recruiting message to france, with 5 million muslims living here, they have one of the largest

muslim populations in europe. unemployment is high among young people which could make them particularly vulnerable. those who've worked in the tough neighborhoods outside of paris say government attempts to address the issues have failed. >> 30, 40 years of very bad immigration policy, very bad integration. there's no integration. >> reporter: he says the consequence of that failure are first seen in the riots in french cities in 2005 when young people, mostly from immigrant communities took to the streets. now he says a new generation of disaffected young people is the target for the fundamentalist messages. this 20 year old is one. he grew up in modest circumstances. his friends who did not want their faces shown said they were surprised when he converted to islam and became more and more radical. but then they were shocked when he was identified as one of the

executioners in an isis video last week. a cleaning lady who also didn't want her face shown was horrified when she was told her son was in the same decapitation video. she said it wasn't him. the mother does not deny that her son, raised catholic, has converted to islam and has joined isis in syria. on his twitter account, he, too, was recruiting for isis, urging his fellow country men to join him before the account was shut down. all of this has left the authorities desperate to find ways to stop the exodus of young people. they have a law under which they can prosecute those who join terrorist groups and invalidate passports of those who may be trying to. but neither address the threat by the video one frenchman makes

a chilling appeal to act on their own in france against what he calls the enemies of islam, the kind of appeal authorities increasingly fear may find traction among some who live in france but don't feel part of it. jim bittermann, cnn, paris. >> and the president of france, francois hollande says more must be done to warn people of the threat. the u.s. is pledging another $135 million in humanitarian aid. joe biden made the announcement inis tan pu is tatanbul. the u.s. has provided $3 billion, that's billion with a "b ".

but european forces the the afghan forces are going to need some help for a while longer. and i think, as they stand up, the contributions and extension of the mission will be critical for them providing a secure environment for afghanis. >> and mr. obama said u.s. troops would be limited to training and counter terror operations after this year. russian foreign minister sergey lavrov is accusing the west of using sanctions to force a regime change in russia. >> translator: the west is making it clear it does not want to try to change the policy of the russian federation. they want to change the regime, practically no one denies this. always when sanctions were imposed in the past, while i was still working in new york, our western partners, whether we were talking about north korea, iran, or any other states, it was said that sanctions should be formulated in such a way that

they remain within humanitarian limits. so that they do not harm the social sphere other economy but so that they touch the elite in a selective, targeted way. now the situation is completely opposite. the leaders of western countries publicly say there is a need to impose sanctions that will destroy the economy and cause public protests. >> and current sanctions against russia limit access to foreign capital for some of the country's largest banks and impose asset freezes on travel bans for some of vladimir putin's allies. lavrov says they are sure to destroy the economy and spark public protests. people fleeing their homes in the midst of shelling are having to leave behind four-legged family members. dog shelters are filled to the brim. the unlucky ones roam the

streets. >> reporter: among the gutted buildings and shell-scarred streets of donetsk it's impossible not to notice the city's population of street dogs is soaring. the only animal shelter is struggling to keep up. the director tells me they're at capacity. there are 800 dogs here. many were abandoned as their owners fled the fighting between separatists and ukrainian government forces. others like jennifer were orphaned by the war. victoria says jennifer's owners were killed in an artillery strike. they found her in the ruins of their home traumatized. in this room they care for those physically injured by the war. they found this puppy, suffering with a broken leg and a deep, infected shrapnel wound. it's possible a small number of these animals will be very lucky. the charity behind the facility has helped some find new homes

as far away as germany, finland and the united states. but those on the outside face a far more difficult reality, as this region's bitter winter ayoe approach approaches. and they share that struggle in the streets with many desperate residents of donetsk who are just trying to survive the consequences of war. here, people lay out what little they own. possessions worth almost nothing, hoping someone will buy something. there are few jobs in this city. pensions are not being paid. whole neighborhoods without power, and temperatures will soon drop well below freezing. don't know how we will live, this woman says. the rebels have secured this city's independence for the foreseeable future, but many now endure a bleak and uncertain existence. phil black, cnn, donetsk, eastern ukraine. >> so far, 4,000 people have

died in eastern ukraine since the fighting began earlier this year. well, a former police officer has been arrested in mexico in connection with the disappearance of those 43 college students. he has been on the run since september. authorities say gonzalez helped round up the students and handed them off to a drug gang do be executed. coming up, fraternities suspended at a large university after gang rape allegations. details of the accusations and what the university is saying about them. and one family is fighting against time to save their pit bull who could be taken from their home by police and disposed of. coming up.
