stops on services on d w the . this is dw news live from berlin. you run release is prisoners and exchange for billions of dollars. 5 americans of freed up 2 years of detention for alleged buying to run, agreed to swap them for 5 or radians killed in the us and access the frozen funds also coming up. planned to and extreme policy by 2030 is in parallel, according to the un secretary general law says the world must renew efforts to

achieve the sustainable development goals. the i'm told me a lot of goal. welcome to the program. iran and the us have carried out a prisoner exchange and a red agreement between them, both nations of each freed 5 people from detention. the directory, ron republicans have criticized the deal saying it would incentivize iran to take more us citizens as prisoners. there are also fees that the us would not be able to stop you run using the money to support terrace groups or rushes were in ukraine. that the, by the end is ministration says, it will keep trying to bring us citizens high and i have no higher priority. the president has no prior higher priority than making sure that americans who are unjustly detained anywhere as i can come home. and we'll continue that works in the

days, and it's a happy endings that there is re united with the families, but few expect relations between long time and an easy ram and the us to store them. ben tat at blue is a senior fellow as the foundation for defense of democracies in washington dc. and he told me how the deal came about. this deal certainly is longer than has been publicly reported. there were some members who were hostages, who were hostage among those 5 who were held against her willie ron for 8 years. and so you have the obama administration, the trumpet, this ration in divided ministration. tried to secure the release of the most recent, you know, approximate cause is the opening of indirect channels and media areas, particularly between the oman and the us. and the running more recently. costs are stepping in taishan from south korea through switzerland and actually holding the

military and counts. but the spiteful attack on in washington saying that hostage diplomacy, a new 3rd diplomacy were absolutely not linked at all. when you look back at the events for the past 2 years, 2 and a half years, there apparently is much more than just a correlation. so just continuing with that point, how far are we from a diplomatic breakthrough one that would get the us and it ran back on the road to talks on the nuclear deal or indeed, i think it's quite clear now that if he were on uh, wanted to get the full resurrection of the 2015 nuclear deal known as the g c p. a way they could have had quite early on in 2001 with abiding administration. in fact, you've had the wrong pastor grow with nuclear programs escalate and the by the administration move, it's called post from seeking something bigger and greater and better than the tracy p. o a to the jcp o itself. and then now looking for some kind of informal interim dealer and on

written understanding design to limit or chassis rods, nuclear program nearly rather than roll back. so in essence right now, if you're looking at oil sanctions, which is one of the things the wrong, that's always one is listed in nuclear diplomacy. iran today based on bloomberg reports is exporting just. ready over $2000000.00 barrels per day, if the jp away allows it to export something like $2400000.00, then the incentive for nuclear diplomacy, the incentive of productive pharmacy diminishes and damp. and so in the short term, i don't expect any kind of diplomatic breakthrough. and very quickly, then i'm showing you there will now be serious any rand could use the detention of us citizens as leverage to ease the below of sanctions or those views um valid indeed the valid way with them, but i would even take them one step further as not just about busting or getting around us sanctions, you've had a run you official sprag, that hostage taking could serve as a way to resolve the countries macro economic problems. in fact, it was an active hostage taking that divorce the us and they run from 1979 in the,

in the ceiling decades, you've had it running proxies, generating money through hostage taking, you've had the right itself to that. and then now you're seeing your on squeak power patrons, particularly russia, looks to this issue of detention and fabricated charges to be able to get leverage against adversary. so most unfortunately, this is something that is going to grow and scale and scope not less, particularly when it's over $1000000000.00 per person. ben, i'm ben telemundo. thank you very much for speaking to us. thank you. to a 2nd, look at some of the other stories making news around the world. canada has expelled a senior indian diplomat as promised to adjust intruder told parliament of credible allegations, potentially linking indian government to the killing of a canadian seek me to hardy, saying the job was shot dead in british columbia in june. who was an advocate for a sick state independent from india,
