the, the 5 dual american iranian citizens haven't freeze, they arrived and don't after leaving tear on under now on route to the us are being exchanged for 5 or radians held in the us. 2 of them have reportedly landed in pair on, according to a rainy and state to be around is getting access to $6000000000.00 and on revenue that was frozen by south korea. around square and ministry confirmed the money would be transferred to a bank account in could tar, but the agreement allows it to be used only for humanitarian purposes. your secretary state and to me a blank and has this to say about the prisoner exchange irrespective of what was happening. we're 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 in the relationship. we continue to be determined to take the whatever step is necessary to deal with actions by ron and a whole host of various been. i'm been telling lou is a senior fellow at the foundation for defense of democracies, and i asked him about the significance of today's events and how long they were in the make. to pleasure. re with you, as many would say, was as long as some of the hostages themselves have been around one of the hostages . hear back from ozzy, which i believe hostage for 8 years. so it's exceptionally significant. it's always good news when you have hostages and americans in any unjustly, unless they get paid for, and citizens and dual nationals return home to their loved ones. but it's going to have significant repercussions for the larger 40 and security problems that continue to persist with the public. let's not forget,

it was an active international hostage taking that divorce the runs america, and 1979 submitted the pariah status of the public. and in the past 4 decades, you've seen the runs proxies and partners also emulate these monica public. and in the world where and now runs great power patrons, russia and china are engaging in the retention or potential hostage taking of western citizens. this issue is likely to escalate. so we're on a slippery slope here. one might say indeed let's look at how this agreement was reached and one of the mediators in particular, what do you make of guitar as role and all of this? so well, you know, it's always interesting that there is always been an auditioning phase for who can say mediator between toronto and washington. and while there was a diplomatic track set up in oman and online in the past was instrumental and both nuclear diplomacy as well as hospital diplomacy. in this case,

the risk guitar was accepting by coming in here was becoming the banking hub for tat ronda for the 6000000000 that was moved from south korea, converted in switzerland and then brought into banks and guitar. so it could be cuts are trying to, you know, gain a little bit more prominence of the diplomatic spotlight. but there are going to be outsides concern there as well, because that has been a somewhat more permissive jurisdiction for tara finance in the region. now looking at the broader relationship between the us and iran, could all of the single, a change of mood between the 2 countries now, especially regarding talks to revive the nuclear deal. you know, there is a lot of people who are seeing this is somewhat connected. i'm inclined to see it is connected in this sense. i think the theory of the case by the, by the administration has to have hoss the diplomacy. they get nuclear diplomacy. it's really a proof of concept that america can deliver the sanctions relief of someone who would be against freeing up 6000000 and for the world's foremost state sponsored

terrorism to continue to use. i think that would be a bad proof of concept. nonetheless, i think i want you to keep their eyes on any potential meetings between your bronze present or race. see who is in new york this week. as well as with any other heads of state, it's reported that he may need japan's foreign minister, the running something eager to get the frozen funds out of japan as well. there continue to be other detained american nationals, as defined by us law, still held hostage to run as well as a plethora for nationals. so we may see more of this in the future. and it's been, i'm going to level thank you so much for your time. thank you. as the head of the united nations has warned that the international community is falling behind and its commitments to come back, hunger and poverty. speaking of the un general assembly antonio good terrace at nations were at risk of failing to meet the so calls from obtainable development goals there and embrace a set of agreements aimed at eliminating poverty and improvement. global health by 2030 for terrace. warren, countries were on track to meet just

a 15 percent of those laws split system summit stocks. they say that we use chief political editor, messiah to prove that. following the discussions in new york and send us this update to on the eve of the un general assembly, the nation's gatherings here already just about mine is to re commit to the sustainable development goals. those goals are long overdue, and 2015. 17 goals were defined including the vision of hunger, basic education, and secure energy supplies to everybody around the world by 20. so see. but the fact is that less than 15 percent of these names have been met. the reasons that was the time to make that is a will going on and you cray, but also in other regions in the world. and that is a debt crisis in the developing world. this was all being discussed ahead of ukraine, quite clearly taking center stage. so to me is

a lensky is expected here in new york. it's you to have many biological meetings, including with the us president, but also germantown slot left souls. and it would be very interesting indeed to hear what kind of tone brought to me as a lensky will strike. because at the same time is there is an old out who in ukraine here in new york at the un general assembly. there's an ongoing baffled for the hearts and minds of the global south bay of feeling the bronze of the crisis of a potential kind of crisis. unless you crane stabilize as fast as they would like to see negotiations. ukraine dozens, and neither do it's western allies are now is mikayla case now reporting from new york city a week after floods, co thousands of people in the libyan city. of there are no hundreds are now rallying against local authorities. protestors accused officials and libya's
