that's why that clip there from anthony bourdain is so remarkable. to see what ordinary life was like for them back in 2014, before they were detained. we see his wife in the video clip and i want to mention they were married in 2013. that means they spent more time apart than together, rezaian has been behind bars for 18 months of their marriage, so it's going to be very special when they are able to leave the country together in the short time here, either the hours ahead later today. but given the fact it's difficult to report from iran, given it's very difficult on the ground for journalists there, we will see in the coming months and years if that's something that improves as the country may open up here, as economic conditions may improve, perhaps it will become easier for journalists to operate in the country. >> we're told that the american prisoners, five of them, were taken to the swiss embassy in tehran, and they'll be on a swiss plane flying to switzerland before they go to germany. hopefully, that plane will be in the air shortly. of cou

a very, very emotional moment. >> people wondered if his interview with bourdain was related to it. he was taken into custody. you mentioned these charges, they seemed completely bogus. never any evidence he was involved in any crimes. more over, the evidence that was presented by iran did seem to be pretty ridiculous. didn't seem to be related to the case. so he was convicted several months ago. never told what his sentence would be. reports that he could have been facing 20 years in prison. that's why these behind the scenes talks were so important. as they were for all of the men involved today. you know, jason's brother, ali lives in california, and i've heard, wolf, you can get some pretty good burritos, so maybe one of these days soon, he'll have one of those. >> yeah, i'm sure he is, hopefully that will be very, very soon. brian, thank you very much for your reporting. >> thanks. >> my next guest was charged with espionage, was in prison for four months. roxanna savari. thanks very much for joining us. you've spoken with a family member of those american prisoners now being f
