iran. harry reid won't bring to the floor any time soon for new sanctions on iran while the negotiations areaking place. does the white house think they have turned a corner here? do they need to keep up the heat with the lobbying campaign with senate democrats? >> they think they have turned the corner. they will continue the pressure if they feel they need to. a couple of things happened and they revolved around the president's unlikely step of inviting senate democrats over for cocktails earlier in the week and a good talking to. it was sort of a carrot and stick tough love approach. they feel it's a national security issue and political issue that could bite democrats if they don't get in line. they feel now they can move in the six months period of negotiation with iran without the same threat of democrats jumping on their back with sanctions. >> next week, the iran's president, the foreign minister, they will among the world elite that descend upon davos. secretary john kerry will be there as well. will we see a meeting? >> not between the president but the foreign minister. >> informa

iran would support the main aim of the geneva to talks mainly to set up a new transitional government. the condition that was laid out in the geneva won agreements that the us state department was not convinced and alston said the general's decision to invite iran saying in a statement. we remain deeply concerned about the wrongs contributions is sought regime's brutal campaign against its own people. if iran does not fully and publicly accept the job picking the nikkei invitation must be rescinded. so with the u s urging the un to un invite iran. key members of the syrian opposition threatening to pull out the sink the general was said to be caught allegedly considering his options. but the wrongs common mission to the un helped him to make up is money. lip reading the united states writes issuing a statement it made it clear that iran would melt it and it's good to have to help set up the new syrian governments saying it's the anticipation of the rawness conditioned to accept genuine communicate the role will not participate in geneva to conference. that effectively cleared the way

iran. ok i'm going to go back to you in new york in the first part of the program we ended on talking about iran's rights and and i think that this is you know this is the crux of the matter here whatever demands and needs they have for nuclear energy is anyone's guess. but at the end of the day they have they believe they have the right to have that kind of energy capacity and this is what it is it's going to get down to i mean we have intelligence report after another one after another there is no intentionality to build a bomb i mean lots of intelligence communities say but for domestic consumption for political reasons at home ran can't give that up they just simply can't. well i mean my understanding of the project preparation treaty is that once you saw and you have the right to actually do some enrichment not to the point of actually weaponized thing and when iran says it has the right to enrich that's what they're arguing and that's doesn't contradict the obama administration if you obama has constantly said that he has no objection to iran having a nuclear program he objects to any

iran's nuclear program completely. dismantled oddly enough at least sixteen democrats are supporting new sanctions sadly if president obama's historic diplomatic progress with iran comes crumbling down it will be due in part to members of his own party reporting from new york marina r.t. . senators backing the new sanctions bill claiming it will serve as an insurance policy in future nuclear talks but the policy director of the national iranian american council things this is nothing but a pretext for something much worse they claim that this is not a violation of the interim deal it is a violation of the interim deal the deal says no new sanctions this imposes new sanctions there's a lot of word games being played but really it comes down to these senators don't want to see a deal they don't want to see a diplomatic solution they view this as their way or the highway either. iran completely capitulates potentially you have a regime change or something like that or the united states is going to go to war and i think that probably president obama and the u.s. negotiators would rather be focused on go sharing with iran to get
