ative nuclear deal with iran. we'll also talk next week about the review of the rolling stone article by columbia journalism review. back next sunday. 11:00 and 5:00 eastern with the latest buzz. ♪ . >> christians around the world celebrating one of the most sick red days on their calendar. marking the resurrection of jesus christ more than 2,000 years ago. solemn prayer and reflection. happy easter and passover. hello, everyone. welcome to america's news head quarters. >> happy easter and happy pass over. the pope leading mass at the vatican before tens of thousands of the faithful braving a downpour to pack the square. delivering a message of hope and calling for peace in places
9:01 am
suffering from pain and bloodshed. we are live in jerusalem. >> reporter: christians around the world celebrating easter today. thousands packing in in rome. it's an extremely somber speech today by the pope that highlighted the human suffering around the world. expressing the pain about violence against christians around the world and expossessing hope that the nuclear agreement will bring peace. he asked for peace and called for the international community to do more for the victims of violence. >> translator: i think in particular of the young people who were killed last thursday at the university in kenya.
9:02 am
>> the pope, of course praying for the 148 people killed on thursday by al shabaab militants. here in the holy land christians celebrated where the traditional spot where jesus was buried and rose as popes have done before. he prayed for the end to the conflict in the holy land. the pope is expected to visit the united states later this year. he will hit on the many themes but particularly about the plight of christians around the world when he visits the u.s. later this year. >> thank you very much for that report. while the pope used his annual easter address to praise the nuclear framework deal with iran, calling it a chance to make the world a safer place. here there's more skepticism. we're live in washington with the latest. >> reporter: there are as many questions raised by the deal worked out last week as there
9:03 am
are answered. that became apparent when leaders from the u.s. and iran offered their opinions on the deal. opinions at odds on the substance of what was agreed to. >> iran will no longer enrich uranium at facilities and with its advanced centrifuges for at least the next ten years. the vast majority of the stockpile will be neutralized. >> our facilities will continue. we will continue enriching. we will continue research and development. our react or the will be modernized and we will continue the facility. >> meanwhile congress is determined to weigh in with a first vote in the senate foreign relations committee set for april 15th. there was little speculation offered on whether the congress will sink the deal or approve it. >> there's a lot of water that needs to go under the bridge
9:04 am
here. many details are unknown. i don't know whether someone can ascertain if this is good or bad yet. >> pressure is intense. >> this is a deal that leaves iran with a capacity to produce the material for many, many nuclear bombs. >> while many republicans in a smaller number of democrats in congress are aligned with netanyahu's view some democrats see his protests as counterproductive. >> can this can backfire on him, and i wish that he would contain himself, because he has put out no real alternative in his speech to congress no real alternative. since then, no real alternative. >> there's also speculation the obama administration may be lobbying congress behind the scenes to stave off an
9:05 am
embarrassing deal on the bill. a lot of things up in the air at this point. back to you. >> thanks doug. >> congress and the administration trumpets the bill and congress is about to take a critical look at it. they do not see eye to eye on a number of key issues. was what was agreed on really agreed? former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. and fox news contributor joins us now. we're learning this morning of some gaps, conflicts just outright differences in what both sides say really is in the deal. >> right. and i think we will see those differences grow over the coming days and weeks as people parse what was actually said in washington and other capitals last thursday. and the reason for this stems from the way the quote unquote deal was presented. there was only one joint
9:06 am
statement by the european union and iran very brief, very vague. everything else that's been said by the governments involved has been unilateral statements. and i think what this means is that they're expressing what they hope the deal might be or what they think has been agreed but it's all now subject to interpretation. i think it shows the fundamental lack of meeting of the minds of the parties. if they can't agree on something that expresses the general principles and that points toward the ultimate outcome, i don't think there's anything here to give any of us confidence that even if they negotiate a thousand page treaty full of details they all sign that iran will comply with it. >> let's take a look at the military facility. iran has blocked people since 2005. they will not agree to any snap inspections.
9:07 am
what does that neen? what if they say that's a garage. we're fixing cars there. no and they block u.n. inspectors completely where they want? >> that's what they've been doing and that's what they'll continue to do. the parameters of the joint agreement, the facts sheet the white house puts out says we're going to work out how to determine where the prior military activities took place and whether the allegations are true, but the fact is that's simply a statement of hope a prayer, really, by the white house that they'll find some agreement. the iran government's position is very clear. there's no radio active material there. there's no nuclear weapons-related work there. it's basically armor and artillery base. and they're not going to let the iaea in within the lifetime of anybody listening to this
9:08 am
broadcast. >> the main resistance group, take a look at what they say is in the persian agreement and not in the u.s. or the eu agreement. they say iran says this agreement is not legally binding that none of the nuclear related installations and activities would be halted, shut down or suspended. there's no mention of not building new facilities. it says iran will continue its research and developments on advanced machines and finally, iran says inspections of declared and undeclared facilities are voluntary and implemented temporarily. does that mean this is all switch and bait? they can shut the door on this whenever they want? >> it shows it's occasionally helpful to have people who understand farce si listen to the negotiations. along with that material there's an op ed in the u.s.
9:09 am
post today. the talks in the difference of language that the iranian authorities have used to compare with iran will do compared to the united states will do. this dsisagreement permeates the entire document. on the iraq heavy water react or the, if you read the white house fact sheet, it says it will be redesigned and rebuilt. it doesn't say redesigned and rebuilt by whom. it says it will be so it doesn't produce reactor grade plutonium. i'm not aware of any in the world that does that. i'd like to know what that design is going to be and are there any reactors that currently meet that description anywhere in the world. iran says we're going to update it. >> quickly do you think there's a difference in english that gives them enough wiggle room to get out of this. >> i think there is wiggle room. the fact you couldn't get anyone
9:10 am
to describe a limited agreement shows this thing is still wide open. >> all right. it goes to congress april 15th. we'll continue to stay on this and watch it. thank you. >> the final four is down to two with a shocker. ending kentucky's perfect season. fwanlers beating the wildcats and duke no strangers to victory. the blue devils defeating michigan state. the championship game is set. it's wisconsin versus duke for all the marbles tomorrow night. we are live in l.a. walk about talk about a big bracket buster. >> what a weekend to be a sports fan. they call it march madness for a week. wisconsin took on kentucky.
9:11 am
both number one seeds but kentucky was favored because they haven't lost a game all year. they went in 38-0. trying to go for perfection f. it was exciting. back and forth. high ok tan. in the end wisconsin squeezed out a thrilling victory. they played the giants. sending kentucky home in busting brackets everywhere. wildcat prayers in fans didn't take the loss very well. the star guard had to apologize after uttering a racial slur about a wisconsin player. then kentucky fans in lexington decided that one loss was just too many. they took to the streets starting lighting things on fire. about 30 ended up getting arrested. many more feeling pretty rough this morning. now all eyes turn to monday night. that's when we have the championship game with duke taking on wisconsin. and arthel, i'd like to point out that i have duke in my
9:12 am
finals and my brackets but i also had kentucky going all the way. the card pulled the name of my bracket is completely destroyed. >> hold that higher. hold it higher. i need to see you do it. >> it's done. it's ripped in half. >> yeah wrrveg okay. i will probably pay my $5@winner. >> that's all? it's all good. i was going to say tonight is all about the base as in baseball but we have no time to talk about it. >> you got the first game to the major league season coming up tonight. opening day tomorrow. if you've got your bracket busted look onto baseball. >> okay. thanks. see you. >> baseball season starts. looking forward to that. easter taking on very special meaning this year. christians marking the holy day as they face persecution and the mass killings by the terrorists in africa and the middle east.

kids assembleing their baskets has as crowds descend to celebrate this easter sunday at the vatican. millions of followers commemorating the day when we believe jesus was resurrected 2,000 years ago. this year the holy day taking on special meaning as christians in the middle east and africa face persecution for their belief. we have a director of the catholic information for us in d.c. >> father, what would you like on this easter sunday for christians and nonchristians to
9:17 am
bear in mind on that day. >> i think the holy father spoke to us with his message which is a message to the people of the city of rome and the world at large. he speaks at the beginning of what we call the three les. love over hate red. life over death. right over darkness. it's not simply a poetic vision that the holy father presents us. it's a sense of recognizing that christ having risen from the dead gives us hope that even in the face of terror, the face of the terrible things we witness in the ancient christian cities that it's possible to be vic victorious. >> father in his mass, the pope also recalled the memories of the 148 students killed at the kenya university last week.
9:18 am
they were targeted because they're christians. what do you tell christians? how should christians reckon siel with such acts? >> we've always been told as christians we have to be able to pray for our persecutors. our lord himself prayed for those kruscrucifying. the enemy would have us be in rage. we think as the pope has often said these things are fuelled by hate hatred. it's much darker. the response has to be to pray, really. >> the response has to be to pray. i heard you, and of course making his first public comments about the framework with iran. the pope saying in part that it may be a definitive step toward a more secure and fraternal world. what's your reflection? >> i think the accent is on
9:19 am
fraternity. he recognized we need to build a culture of love. it was the phrase used by pope john paul ii. the holy father doesn't delve into the mechanics of politics. really to recognize that building up a fraternal spirit which goes back to the light over darkness, love over hatred narrative. >> light over darkness for sure. do you feel that light is prevailing these days, father? >> many people speak of the darkness. these things we see in our moments in darkness, but i do a lot of work with young professionals and beneath the radar of many organizations and media and throughout the world there is a great growing group of young professionals of young priests and young seminarns who
9:20 am
are bright and focussed. they're not really anti-anything. i think they're very much focussed on their love of god and christ and fellow men and women and i think that's an extraordinarily powerful force for the good. i my that's really something that gives us a great deal of hope for the future. >> i think light prevails for sure. there's a lot of dark out there. there's no doubt about that but i believe that light prevails. can i ask a quick question because you know we see'ser and we talk about the easter bunny and egg hunts. do you do any of that? >> no. i don't. but there are a lot of easter callers which are things which are great brightness. one of the remarkable things about easter is even many good christians think that's the end. lent has come and we can put beside our sacrifices of coffee or alcohol or food or what not. this is really the beginning. it's the beginning of the season
9:21 am
of another 40 days in which the risen christ actually remains with his disciples. not because of the gratitude. >> i have to say happy easter. the computer will cut us off. thank you very much. >> thank you so much. >> we're back in a moment. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!
