mohamed zarif. his opportunity to get a deal play be closing. mr. zarif. analysts say the stairks are high. >> well, the domestic political pressure that both sides have been feeling have not receded in any way slaip or form. as they loom closer to that march 31st deadline the pressure only increases. you will see a sense of urgency that you haven't seen before. like a soccer or football match the craziest things have a propensity to happen as you approach the 90th minute. >> behind the doors of this opulent hotel talks have made some progress, building on months of negotiations. sanctions, iran wants them all lifted as soon as possible. but the current array of eu, u.s. and u.n. sanctions snap-back provisions a way for sanctions to be reinstated if iran violates any part of the deal. france is known to be the most hawkish almost certainly because of this, israel's newly reelected prime minister, benjamin netanyahu sent a delegation to paris earlier this week. he's strongly opposed to the sort of deal currently under discussion. here in lausanne, they know

security council by video stream, mohammed ibn chambas, head of the un office for west africa, described the ongoing threat from the militant group boko haram. mribn chambas: the group continues horrific acts against women and children. we have received reports that children particular have been recruited, objected, maine, and killed. schools are no longer safe places of learning, and many continue to be attacked, looted, and destroyed. several schools in the area also remain close. amy: meanwhile, two nigeria journalists covering boko haram and the elections for al jazeera have been detained in their hotel room in maiduguri for a week. nigerian authorities have accused ahmed idris and ali mustafa of operating without clearance, but al jazeera says they are accredited. in bangladesh a secular blogger has been hacked to death with machetes. two children have been arrested for killing oyasiqur rhaman over his criticism of islam. rhaman had expressed solidarity with avijit roy, another secular blogger killed last month, posting "i am avijit" on social media. farmworkers have reportedly rejected the offer of a 15% raise. in quebec, an 18-year-old s

mohammed zarif. and one day after a speech by benjamin netanyahu. he condemned any deal as untenable, saying the current regime is unbelievable. >> well mr.ear weapon within two, three, four years since 1992. he has been on the record time and again, that iran will believe a nuclear weapon within two years. in 1992 he said iran will have a nuclear weapon within one year. he wants to stick with his one year for a decade. he do not believe that nuclear weapons bring security to anybody. this is isn't about nuclear technology, this is about scientific advancement and pride of the iranian people. it has nothing to do with nuclear weapons. and once we reach that understanding and once this hysteria is out and this fear mongering is out and then we can have a deal and it will not hurt anybody. this deal will help ensure that iran's nuclear program will always remain peaceful. we have no doubt in iran that our nuclear program is paegsful and will re -- peaceful and remains peaceful. there may be people with concerned and affected by the type of hysteria fanned by people like netanyahu and it is useful for people to allow this deal to go through.
