nuclear deal between iran and world powers? this possible breakthrough comes at the end of 4 days of talks in vienna. and iranian delegation is on its way back to, to ron, to discuss the proposals, the talks involved, germany, france, britain, china, and russia. the united states has been involved indirectly. the u says it's now up to those nations to either accept or reject the deal. the 2015 deal known as the j . c. p. away lifted sanctions on a ran in return for guarantees that it will not build a nuclear weapon. former us president donald trump, he walked away from the deal. his journalist klaus pumpers in vienna on whether or not a deal is now within reach. it isn't reach if you as president biden and the high representative i a. so there is a leader of your on say yes to this, the they will have on the table to morrow morning. by a neat,
11:10 pm
it's for the midterm elections as well as we have just from the rushing b c that he meets this class in the senate. but also the iranians need something because they desperately eaten money and export an import possibilities in favor of a huge inflation of 40 percent. and then the economy on the verge of collapsing. the european union has submitted this, this final text that is being held as a possible you know, savior for this. do you, do? we know exactly what is inside the you draft? no, not exactly negotiations this week. i explained only as technical after the high representative of the, you know, the already presented the paper to all parties, especially to the chair and here on leadership 9 days ago. he afterwards indicated this is the final compromise she sees as possible for most tides. after these long negotiations to talk even longer does not make sense. now the parties will have to
11:11 pm
be tied. yes or no. we only know what is not included. he's got problems which i disputed between international atomic energy agency, also indiana and iraq on the new joint comprehensive plan of action. neither of you know what exactly the us offer to iran. if in 2024 american would vote for another republican president who might want to exit this plan again. and if this plan were to be salvaged, what would that mean for iran? it would mean for iran, especially for the people in iran that inflation goes down, which is now around about 40 percent officially, most probably even higher. it would mean they could export oral and yes again and they could impart needed span tall crowd fall

for medical advice and medical things. and many other things that the life of the radiance would be better. again, after a long pause of possibilities to impart to think they need from the rest. and they didn't get to the last 20 years, more or less journalists klaus from his joining us from vienna. klaus thank you. no come or to be a member of a political party when that party really doesn't want you any more. that is the reality for former german chancellor. gerhard schroeder, his party, germany central, left social democratic party has ruled. there are no legal grounds to expel him. the former chancellor has been criticized for his ties to russia. gear had showed her there isn't going anywhere just yet. 17 chapters of his own party, the social democrats, had filed motions to expel him. but an arbitration commission decided there are no
11:13 pm
grounds to banish or even to reprimand. sure, though, it declared that his close ties to russian president vladimir putin and his rules working for russian energy giant scottsbroom and the ro sniffed, did not break party rules. should those links to moscow and his failure to condemn levy made putin after his invasion of ukraine, caused an uproar within the party. but the decision not to expel him was purely procedural expelling. a person from a party in germany has pretty high hurdles and is basically a judicial argument. while his position politically is totally isolated and i mean, you will not find any one i think within the us, but he who will support his political positions. sure, there has stepped back from some of his posts with russian companies since the start of the war. but many social democrats still want to exclude him from their ranks opinions very among the german public.
11:14 pm
it's bad for the party and i am a member myself and i'm ashamed 1st. good either your my lorenzo. no, i think you should be kicked out of the party, but it's just not right to be so close to putting the saw in some been on those on go to we should relax a little and not get stuck on this issue, but maybe focus on other topics on thus fish, i think it's ok if he stays along with that. he was in the party for such a long time and now he disagrees with the parties mainstream opinion, but still i believe he can stay and not live life in the past when people didn't complain, so much about his strong ties to russia when the decision not to expel schroeder can still be appealed, but for now he has every right to remain a member, albeit isolated of the social democrats. and finally, we knew her 1st as the hopelessly devoted high schooler sandy before she sang. let's get physical. the australian singer and actress olivia newton john has died
