that's a 2015 nuclear deal and the reason president hassan rouhani is saying this is because there's a presidential election coming up in june and he's term will come to an end later this year and he doesn't want to be remembered as the president that resided over a failed nuclear deal and was unable to deliver on his promise of getting the u.s. sanctions lifted on iran's but that's the context of what he's saying and yes he is hopeful and he is optimistic because it means political capital for him and he's reformists reformist supporters but there's still a long way to go because iran's position still hasn't changed iran is sticking to its guns and saying that all u.s. sanctions must be lifted before iran begins to reverse any measures it's taken a spin in its nuclear program ok lots to keep an eye on there will let you get back to it and said big there life for us and to her and as a thank you now turkish courts is handed down life sentences for 4 soldiers for their involvement in the 2016 could attempt they're charged with plotting to overthrow president richard typer to $11.00 of

ranking member grassley, members of the committee, i am mary hassan. hassan. me begin by stating clearly i believe discrimination is always wrong. all americans should be treated equally. we are created male or female from conception. today we have heard about the threats posed by the equality act to females. i share those concerns. because biological sex matters for law, medicine, and many of us. for many of us it affects the practice of our faith. it redefines sex with no reference to biological distinction between male and female. unlike, the equality act defined as stereotypes, sex characteristics, pregnancies, sexual desires with gender identity and the equality act thus cements the ideological belief that it can be self defined and it punishes those who dissent, but sex does matter. only females experience female puberty. pregnancy, birth, and menopause. biology also makes females uniquely vulnerable to having their safety and privacy compromised. nine out of 10 rate victims are female. when the law privileges gender identity, females feel the consequenc

reporter: president hassan rouhani's announcement comes after an attack on a nuclear facility and the extremely high security located in the desert. the incident cut off electricity to the site while reportedly damaging a number of centrifuges. while there have been conflicting accounts of what caused the blasts, iran has pointed the finger at israel, calling it an act of nuclear terrorism. israel, for its part as a matter of policy is not confirmed or denied the attack, but the countries media has reported that it had orchestrated a "devastating cyberattack." some fear that the shadow war will not push iran towards a diplomatic compromise, especially at the negotiation table. >> without a doubt these are very negative developments that can make these talks even more difficult. i think what it also shows is that every time you have the israelis attacking, sabotaging, assassinating in ira it undermines the prospect for a diplomatic solution, and it shows that there reallysn't any military solution, because all of the differe measureby the israel have been countered by escalation on the
