saudi arabia is a good sign. iranians see this as an opening and maybe the saudis will behave in a moderate fashion with regards to syria. >> we haven't heard what the iranian formal response is to that invitation from the saudi arabia foreign minister. do you know what it is? >> i am sure the iranians will respond positively. the iranian tried to engage the saudis in the past. the former delegate went to saudi arabia a year ago, but the saudi response was not favo favourable and at that time they were convinced they should continue to fund the extremist organizations in syria. now that saudi arabia isolated itself in yemen with the muslim brotherhood, in iraq and syria, in bahrain, iran and so on, and inside saudi arabia, they are having trouble because of the age of the king, and the issue of succession, they may want to thing of a new policy towards iran. >>> professor, thank you for talking to us live from tehran. >> thank you. >>> a senior military commander and nine soldiers have been killed in yemen. the a

clearly the saudi government is supporting general cc. he is running for president and there is a very different approach to the future of egypt. >> let me go to this point. although i would like to explain it in a broadway, i know you want to get to the point that if we support them and the saudis them, who will judge who is right? we did not bring the muslim brotherhood to power in egypt. they were elected by the egyptian people. qatar announced their help and aid to egypt. we announced the backing of egypt before the islamists brotherhood came to power, way before. we stopped doing that before the islamist brotherhood came. they had been elected by their own people. electing. problem some of our brothers don't like where they disagree -- that meet put it that way -- with the islamic brotherhood. it is their right to do that. some of them think that he is legitimate. ,hat about if he comes to power which he is going to come to power within a month or a two -- >> elections are in june. haved six months later we 2 million or 3 million in

if they came from both countries, it would appear if saudis feel they're getting encircled. >> the saudis have long worried about radicalization within the country and worried about links to battlefields abroad. i think they've got somewhere in the thousand-plus people who have been reportedly going to fight in syria. they have a long-standing connection with yemen, which is an organization closely linked to a lot of senior saudi figures within it. they have lots of links to all these sorts of groups, so they're wanting these sorts of cells not all the time but just a fairly steady pace. i know historically the saudis have a substantial problem with terrorism at home, so they're very keen to try to nip it in the bud before they're able to develop into anything. >> aqap are al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. i want to go back a few years when saudis did something very similar, 2004, and he were accused of using this as a general crackdown on those that disagreed with what was going on the kingdom. could this be happening here? >> it's very difficult to know, because all we have announced i

in this case, it was a saudi man who was also in saudi arabia working as a health care workers. he traveled to boston and atlanta and then before arriving in orlando to visit family. he's being treated and reportedly improving. but the mere passage of these two men and through those cities and everyone they have touched, that is what has health officials looking at how they picked up the disease. it does not spread as easily as the flu. that's the good news. but it is considerably more lethal. so that's why they are taking all of this very, very seriously, wolf. it may seem like a couple of people but they know what it can turn into. wolf? >> it can be very, very deadly. tom, thank you very much. we'll continue to follow the breaking news. i'll speak live with one of the health officials charged with tracking the deadly mers virus. there is he. we'll go live to the centers for disease control and prevention when we come back. my lenses have a sunset mode. and an early morning mode. and a partly sunny mode. and an outside to clear inside mode. new transitions® signature™ adaptive

so, we had this dutch guy, he was in saudi arabia earlier this month. he went to hospital, but he wasn't diagnosed for two weeks, when he got back to the netherlands. and the authorities there are trying to track back his footsteps, so they've spoken to everyone that came into contact with him and have discovered that he traveled with a woman, a family member. that's all we know. they shared a room together in saudi arabia, and she also has been tested positive. we do understand that both of them have underlying conditions, which makes them more vulnerable the most to mers. one of them visited a camel farm where you find a lot of mers, i'm told, in saudi arabia. so, it's really a case of keeping on top of this. and the world health organization says they are looking at this, they're treating it urgently, but as yet, they don't see it as a public emergency. >> all right, max foster. thanks so much for that, max. >>> prosecutors now say ex-nfl star aaron hernandez ambushed and shot to death two men in boston in 2012. he was indicted on two counts of first
