extensive damage done to the front of the babylon hotel. security on the ground not allowing media close by. same situation at the other location the sheridan hotel although it changed its name. this is a clear message that isis may not have taken over this particular city violence still exists on a fairly regular basis. and a message that the targets that the two strikes were hotels that are very frequently stayed in by foreigners and vips. throwing into the question the iraqi security forces to keep these installations safe. when it comes to the u.s. arming the sunni tribes potentially without going through baghdad, that could cause some tensions. at the end of the day, these tribes do need weapons. they have been asking for them for over a year. the government has promised to make good on that. bearing in mind the u.s. has gone through this with the sunni tribes before back in the days when it was fighting al qaeda. the isis predecessor. the sunni tribes turned on al qaeda and allied with the u.s. and they were fighting side by side in s

there is a certain irony who liberated the jews from babylon and a story we were reminded on when he came for a state visit from washington and other u.s. cities a little over a year ago. they're conscience about history but i think we should be conscience of it as well. the regional dimension and the points at which barbara picked up i'd like to echo what he says on where we think we are now and the importance of the framework that we have got and the quality of that deal. but i would add that of course between now and the end of june there is still a great deal of details and work to be completed. it's not yet in the bag and we're all very clear that if we can't get the right deal then there won't be a deal. but this is significantly better the framework we've got in the moment, the judgment of our governments than any of the alternatives out there from preventing iran from getting a nuclear weapon. it's a piece of diplomacy which has taken a long time to get this far. the regional dimension of course this was a big part of the g-seven summit happened. it it is clear that a number
