who was major nadal hassan? katherine harris picks up that part of the story. >> born and raised in virginia you are looking at nadal hassan then known as mike from william fleming high school in row an oak virginia class of 1988. >> parents palestinian immigrants had a convenience store. it was a very americanized student. >> amy zee guard is a senior fellow of the hoover administration in stanford university. she has done extensive research in following the fort hood massacre. >> he was a loaner in school. not unusual for high school males. >> major hassan spent quite a bit of time in the army. >> hasan has been a soldier for 20-years and a practicing muslim. he attended bars go college in california and went to virginia to attend virginia tech. he was the defense attorney for two years until the army major fired him. >> prior enlisted service he went to med school under an army of programs. he would regularly pray and attend local mosques. >> it appears he became radical radicalized in 2001 triggered by the d

hassan rouhani will be in terrible state.assan rouhani will basically not criticize his government, but most likely will let him go. the whole deed is on the sanctions. over the last two years, hassan rouhani has been telling m mr ayatollah khamenei, that he's doing this to get the sanctions listed. if that doesn't come true everything falls apart in the country. in other words the economy is in terrible state, and you can expect the worst from the people, and they have been celebrating for tow years, day after day to get this done. that explains why there's a desire by the iranian port to have the sanctions lifted. is there hope that this is the compromise. you have elections in february, between iran and february, if iran shows it is complying with the deal, certain sanctions will be lifted to relieve political pressure on hassan rouhani. >> it depends on how fast the sanctions will impact the people's pockets. to have a deal and go back to the deal and make a propaganda is not going to work. in the last two years, twice, t

suppose hassan rouhani and his team reach a deal. what does that do in terms of hassan rouhani's ability following through with liberalization promises in other issues, promises made to the iranian people? >> hassan rouhani is banking on this deal. iran will hold parliamentary elections in february 2016. and he and his team and the reformists are looking to gain greater political representation in parliament. and have a stronger position within iran's complex political institutions. and with - in advance of the elections, he will be pushing forward to maybe liberalize the internet some more, and trying to issues. a lot of his liberalizing efforts stalled because of the emphasis of nuclear negotiations and the priority of removing sanctions. if he gains a nuclear deal, he'll come out with a strengthened hand and will meet a challenge from conservatives that do not want him to come out in a stronger position. does he come out in a weaker position that iran will be kept from developing a weapon for 10 years. the conservativesar trying t

a breakthrough came two years ago when hassan rouhani was elected president and declared that hassan rouhani was ready to compromise. president obama talked to hassan rouhani by phone. the first top-level exchange since the hostage crisis after the iranian revolution in 1979. even as president obama said the u.s. should cease the opportunity to move in a new direction. he said they harbored no illusions dealing with the country. >> that means this deal is not built on trust, it's built on verification. inspectors will have 24/7 access to iran's key nuclear facilities. >> in vienna secretary of state john kerry the primary architect says iran doesn't get anything until it shows its living up to its word. >> that is why none of the actions in place will be lifted until iran implements the commitments that it made. in some restrictions including those related to arms and proliferation will remain in place for some years to come. >> the text of the bill goes to capitol hill about 150 or so pages of is to be reviewed by congress, who will have 60 days to give it a thumbs up or thun. they'

it was hassan rouhani.hassan rouhani who has systematically called the iranian students for agents it was hassan rouhani who systematically, chairman of the supreme national security council was banning newspapers and now people are expecting hassan rouhani of all people is going to allow freedom of the press? why? why? this is what i believe is the mistake of the western press, they do not pay attention, they do not look at the history of the individual and therefore they have expectations which are totally immature. some younger people in tehran have this kind of expectation, this is why they voted for him but you cannot blame them. their young and naive. in washington people are not so young. this is none of the complaint i have when it comes to u.s. government view of the hassan rouhani cabinet. >> they succeeded in making 90% of the discourse about the nuclear issue may be even higher and convince most of the west the only issue worthy of discussion is how to prevent iran from getting nuclear weapons.

rights watch saw no significant improvements in human rights in the first full year that president hassan rouhani has been in office. since he's been in office iran executed 1500 people. many for nonviolent crimes, the country has more than 900 political prisoners. in 2009 my al jazeera colleague roxana saberi spent four months in prison whilst working for another company. accused of being a spy and subjected to severe hardships she did get out. many in prison with her were not happy. >> in 2003 i had a chance to work as a journalist in my father's native land iran. >> many women feel their voices were not heard. >> people asked where are you from. i thought should i say america. i was in my home when at 9 o'clock in the morning, four many came to my home. >> iranian american reporter roxana saberi sailed in train. >> i was interrogated, blindfolded, facing a wall for up to four men, and was in solidary confinement for several days. >> the charges against her are baseless. she has been subjected to a process that has been nontransparent. arbitrary. >> we were told that she'll be free as o

in january 2014, i was in switzerland for the world economic forum where president hassan rouhani made a debut to the world. there were industrial leaders, c.e.o.s, who couldn't wait to have meetings and talk about what happens when this economy of 80 million opens up. remember, rain is an asian country, you know, a far eastern country, but it is industrial. it is a manufacturing company, a market of educated consumers. the newspaper that i showed you. this was zarif saying - the headline saying we are victorious. this head line is a comment made by the former president, a conservative at the time saying this is farcy for if he's president, the u.s. embassy in iran can reopen. you know the u.s. embassy, the sign of a 440 day hostage taking in 1979. it exists, it's a museum, the symbol of the enmity between iran and america. the concept that it could reopen and there could be a normalization of relations, this is what former conservatives are saying. there's a sense that we may be at a point where this could go forward. it may be brinksmanship or they have got to the end of the road and

. >> david wright elton simpson, hassan edmunds, tarod pew, christopher cornell. >> islamic extremism comes in all shapes and sizes. we're not going to be able to just recognize it right off the bat. but if people are seeming unnecessarily -- >> but isn't that infective. isn't that infective what you're doing? it's not going to help anything. it's just going to incite things don't you think? >> going back to the point of the video was it is to get the conversation started about islam and that the core tenets is to establish a one world order and do so by violent acts and that's why we're seeing such unrest in the middle east. that's why we're seeing these jihadist terror strikes in the united states because their ultimate goal is to establish one world religion that is superior to any or religion and that's the only religion that says that.

here is john seigenthaler and antonio mora >>> we begin with what iranian president hassan rouhani said was a new chapter history, a landmark agreement between iran the u.s. and five powers. the deal limits iran's nuclear ability for more than a decade removing two-thirds of iran's existing centrifuges used to enrich iranian and allows international inspectors to monitor sites. in exchange sanctions will be lifted, only after inspectors verified that iran is living up to the agreement. the deal represents a major diplomatic agreement for president obama, but the president must convince allies in the middle east and detractors in washington that the deal is not what is blasted as a cap ittualation to iran. james bays has more. >> reporter: the moment agreement was reached. after hours of intense negotiations into the night, the key players said it was an historic deal. the opponents believed it was a dangerous mistake. even a main negotiator admitted it was very much a compromise agreement. >> we are reaching an agreement that is not perfect for anyone but it is what we could accomplish,

after taking office, hassan rouhani went on a campaign to end iran's economic isolation, saying nuclear weapon had no place in iran's future, and calling western sanctions a form of violence. the sanctions we are talking about target iranian individuals and various industries from banking and insurance to shipping and energy, and have been imposed by the united states, the european union and the united nations. >> in 2012 the u.s. and e.u. slapped sanctions on the oil industry. as a result iranian oil revenues fell by a third in 2012. that's a big deal. oil makes up 80% of iran's export earnings, and 50% of government revenue. the sanctions mean real pain. easing the pain is a huge task, made harder by a climate change of distrust. in united states, critics say iran will not abide by its commitments and will try to develop a nuclear weapon. in iran mistrust runs deep, built on a history of rocky relations. the question is whether a new chapter in the history will be written. the answer today is maybe. james bays joins us now from austria. >> this was supposed to be the deadline for the

as hardliners try to undermine president hassan rouhani. they hope in the long run, bringing iran out of international isolation will force the world to pressure it to improve its human rights record. >> the international community can pay attention and focus on human rights situation, and use the leverage that it has in terms of political and economic leverage to push tehran and to stand by human rights obliges. >> president barack obama says sanctions in relation to human right violations will remain in place. today it's hoping for human rights between the two countries to be better. >> ali velshi reports. >> there's a history of hostility between iran and the united states that spans decades. for americans that history dated to 1979. there was more chanting and shouting today. that's when radical students fired up by the iran islamic revolution. stormed the u.s. embassy in tehran, and took 52 americans hostage. >> the capacity lasted 244 -- 444 days. for iranians, hostilities with the u.s. started quarter of a century earlier, when prime

and is expected to meet with president hassan rouhani. world leaders will join the talks in vienna to ham are out a final nuclear deal. let's go live to vena. diplomatic editor james bays is there. what is the latest. >> well in the last few minutes here at the hotel, the palaced turned hotel, we saw the foreign minister mohammad javad zarif on one of the balconies. he's still up there. we believe he's making a recorded video statement to be released in the next couple of hours from the iranian foreign minister posted on facebook and 2002er. i suspect later on when i saw hum on the balcony, i shouted loud at him how confident he was, and that he had to be hopeful. i had a follow up question about the reports published by a newsagency suggesting that he may make another trip back. i shouted "are you going to tehran?" the answer no. he's a long way away. we didn't get detailed answers to the questions. we got a little more detail in the last 5 minutes when philip hammond arrived here. he'll be starting now with the john kerry about where th

the hezbollah leader hassan rala said this past weekend the united states remains the great satan both before and after the nuclear accord. the leverage that brought the iranians to the negotiating table was the sanctions relief. let me just recap some of the stuff that wasn't even part of the negotiations. iran developing icbms, overthrowing foreign governments, sponsors terror, unjustly imprisoning united states citizens, including a marine, a pastor, a reporter. chanting death to america pledging to wipe israel off the map. none of that was part of the negotiations. iran's neighbors who know them the best trust them the least. it's something for us to think about. i would also ask if you to submit for the record a little bit more in the plan as for stopping all the other iranian terror that wasn't part of the deal. i think it would be very helpful for congress to have a better sense of what the plan is regarding everything that wasn't part of the deal. and mr. secretary, if we remove the sanctions, we're removing the leverage that brought the iranians to the table. over 70 years ago

iranian president hassan rouhani approved the deal and told critics that it represented a new page history and was haunted by the iranian people. libby casey joins us from washington. did john kerry and company make head way with the senate? >> they may have gained traction with democrats by clarifying details of the deal and answering questions. they didn't challenge the mind of sceptics, disliking the deal and disliking the idea of having a deal with iran. some of those republicans would like to do what they can. >> reporter: it's an opportunity to defend the deal. >> the deal we have reached is not what i see ads on tv suggesting disingenuously. it is a better deal. some sort of unicorn arrangement involving iran's complete capitulation. that is a fantasy, plain and simple. >> the secretary of state made his case to the senate foreign relations committee to a body he used to chair. >> iran's ties to terrorist groups is why we must keep it from obtaining a nuclear weapon. the combination of the threats raises a nightmare scenario. >> also making the case energy secretary, a nuclear exper

>> i think it is tricky ground. >> major hassan was screaming.hat's the official position to this day. there is dishonesty here that the read that is afraid to identify our enemies that are sworn on killing military men in recruiting stations. military men that are not allowed to defend themselves. >> i don't disagree. i think there is a piece of dishonesty. i know this coming from the fbi. they are very cautious in how they approach their introduction to religion religion institutions and other inls constitution because of the criticisms of overreaching. >> knowing what isis has called for, lone wolf attacks against american military and then you find out the guy's name is muhammad youssef abdulazeez. is it not natural to say, wait a minute. was this guy inspired by isis? or is that profiling in a negative way? is that somehow islamic phobic? >> i think we have to ask this question. let's say he had not committed this act and he is -- >> fair enough. >> but it would be a good starting point. yes or no. >> years ago, when you would stop a car. yo

eliminating the economic sanctions has been at the heart of iranian president h5n1 hassan rouhani's campaign. has you calz sanctions a form of violence. i want to examine the effects of the essential on iran and its people. something i saw firsthand over the past two weeks and the obviously place to start is the sanctions against iranian oil exports. in 2012 the u.s. and the european union slapped new sanctions on industry. as a result, between 2011 and 2014, iranian owl exports plunged 46%. they were 2.6 million barrels a day down to 1.4 million barrels a day. this decline is a big deal. oil makes up 40% of iran's export earnings and 50% of government revenue. right now, iran has half a dozen legitimate oil customers, indian indian, turkey, few others. expect that to change quickly, if and when economic sanctions are lifted. iranian officials say they hope to double oil exports soon after the sanctions fall. the news that the talks are dragging on and on sent prices up a bit. they still settled down 1%. oil now trades at $52 many en 24 a barrel. after spending two weeks in iran i can tell y
