let's go live to james bays who is in lausanne, switzerland where the talks are taking place. james, good morning. what is happening on the eve of this deadline? what are the final sticking points? >> well, there are final sticking points, but that's to be expected. when you deal with something as complex as this, as controversial as this, something that's been negotiated for literally years, when you come close to the end, you get to the points that are the most difficult. the points they are stuck on is future research and development of iran's nuclear program, what restrictions there should be on that because iran, of course, could develop more sophisticated centrifuges, which would change all of the calculations they have about a possible breakout time to get a nuclear bomb. the other main sticking point is about sanctions. iran wants the sanctions lifted, it says if we do this deal, we he want to trade like a normal nation. the other powers around the table say that's fine, but what if you don't comply with a deal. now the main problem is with u.n. security council sancti

our chief international correspondent has more from the talks in lausanne switzerland. >> reporter: well be clear this is a self-imposed deadline. the real deadline for a final deal is the end of june. the americans have their own deadline. that's when congress is going to convene on april 14th. new sanctions against iran are on the agenda. so what the pressure is here now on the edge of lake geneva is for the negotiators to come up with what is described as a framework, an understanding. it will send a signal to all of the countries involved in these negotiations and beyond that they have come to an agreement on the basic outlines of a final nuclear deal. that would represent huge progress. as they come toward the 11th hour, the pressure, the pace is picking up. they are closer than they have ever been before in this it12-year nuclear standoff but there are still gaps. for iran it's what sanctions will be lifted and when. iran also wants to maintain research and development program despite caps on its nuclear enrichment. the world powers are pushing back on that. as i speak, they're gat

in lausanne, switzerland today where talks are underway, iran's foreign minister sounded cautiously optimistic. >> we are making progress but there are issues that need to be resolved. >> ifill: but secretary of state john kerry said the u.s. is still "pushing some tough issues," and a senior european negotiator reported the sides are still far apart. all of this follows the israeli prime minister's fiery speech to congress, warning against any deal, and the senate republican warning letter to iran. there've also been bipartisan calls for congressional approval of any agreement, and possibly, additional sanctions, if the talks fail. and with me now is george jahn the associated press reporter who broke the story about the latest negotiations. george, this draft proposal that would bring down iran's centrifuges by 40% how real is it? >> it's as real as anything we're getting out of these confidential negotiations. we do vet our stories very carefully and several officials who are close to the top did tell us that this document is being discussed between iran and the united states. of course, it

we go to lausanne switzerland in the 7:20 hour. on those important iran talks. oving from switzerland to the middle east. while iran in the u.s. meet in lausanne other things are happening. a coalition led by saudi arabia conducting airstrikes against rebels. if you are keeping track you are confused. willem marx has reported from yemen and iraq. do the separate incidents add up? do you get the sense that anything is shifting permanently? willem: the developments in the last few days in yemen are significant. saudi arabia is leading the coalition of people there. they are essentially attacking 40% of yemen's population. the houthis are part of a group that is an offshoot of shia islam. there's not a lot of evidence for iranian backing. brendan: we can to look at what is going on in yemen through a broader lens but this is an old insurgency. this is a struggle for control. willem: this goes back to the 1960's. they were defeated, their leadership which had been in place for hundreds of years, suddenly they were treated as second-class citizens. since 2004 and 2000

as we say that deadline still over 10 hours away. >> ok, al jazeera's james bays for us in lausanne, switzerland james, thank you. >> the deadline may be hours away but the technical details on the number of iran's centrifuges may take a while to work out. our science and technology correspondent james ward explains why attempts to limit iran's nuclear capabilities could backfire. >> it seems logical if the u.s. and allies want to deprive iran of a nuclear weapon, they should simply limit the centrifuges with which the country can enrich uranium but placing a limit might have the opposite effect. >> by limiting them to a small number we're limiting them to the number you need for a weapon. >> the reason is that it actually takes fewer sentry finals to create a weapon than it takes to create a steady supply of nuclear fuel. that's what so few people understand. it takes tens of tons of nuclear material to power a reactor for a single year but only 25 kilograms or 55 pounds of uranium to build a nuclear weapon. there is a push for a deal for iran to retain 6,000 century finals down from 20,000. th
