9:08 pm
a lot of families special for the ones who are living in the suburbs and now the food banks are also struggling with this increasing demand for food because let's not forget we're in the middle of the pandemic that means there already families who have lost their jobs they were forced to go to the food banks and now they have have been hit for the 2nd time this and freezing temperatures during the last days and now the water and food crisis here in the state of texas sounds like a situation from the president declared a state. how does that actually help people on the ground. well these. financial help make this means that they're going to get money for their home repairs also for the property losses and also low interest loans to in order to were repaired the losses they have especially the losses of property that for the people who don't have any insurance for that so this is the main

9:11 pm
iran but he's pretty decisive but he says the u.s. will really and to the iran nuclear deal to don't trump we've drew from the agreement in 28. but that's only part of the mess the new administration has to clean up trump also placed tough sanctions on tehran. iran responded by increasing its enrichment of weapons grade uranium not by enough to actually build a bomb but the message it sent to the international community was alarming. and with biden now in the white house iran wants to restart negotiations with the u.s. and other security council states but to iran wants the economic sanctions lifted 1st turan says if the sanctions are not gone by tuesday they will suspend some nuclear inspections and international observers. but an administration says sanctions relief is not on the table. thank you and as you heard joe
9:12 pm
biden is calling for careful diplomacy and the other security members search early council members and germany who brokered the deal also wanted to be resurrected but iran wants those sanctions lifted 1st we walk spoke with a total and a jag who was in iran expert here in berlin and asked him about who would make the 1st will well this is some of the major questions that we'll have to see. this is true i mean it's true that the iranians have sound the u.s. needs to you know be compliant again to the nuclear deal and after it was that washington left it. but as far as things stand we're going to probably i mean the most probably scenario would be a step by step process that is iran reversing some of its reductions of nuclear commitments that it has pursued. but after all iran is definitely
9:13 pm
interested to eventual talks too with the united states because the sanctions that have been imposed during the trump administration have been truly crippling. and it seems that the blood and administration wants to use that bridge in order that the 1st of all to have a more robust nuclear deal that is to extend the sunset clauses. and eventually also pave the way to talk to to iran with some non-nuclear issues when it comes to iran's regional presence and that's because the program something to one is the nights to be willing to engage and so far time for sports now and in the bundesliga frankford have blown the title race wide open after beating league leaders by a new nick 2 to one the defeat is byron's 3rd of the season and comes after they were held to a drop by lowly our mini abilify held on monday. answer the pundits leaguers
