they probably couldn't clean that up in three weeks and the question is whether iran will provide the u.n. nuclear inspectors, access to the people and documents who have been working at that site and those types of things could very well be removed from the site, eric. >> eric: is there a possibility -- james you have had reports in the past, iran and other nations, are flattened, have flattened facilities before the inspectors get there and hans blix said that is what saddam hussein did at the time and the u.n. inspectors go in the front door while the iraqis were taking stuff out the back door. >> reporter: well, of course as you know from covering the subject yourself, a nuclear weapons program is that -- if that is what iran is building, and has under way, is more difficult to hide when the cops are, if you will, busting down the front door, than, say a bag of marijuana and it will not be so easy for them to hide what they have going on sat this facility and the question remains whether it is the secret facility or just the one we found out about and there is a draft report, from the

more on that in a minute and coming up here, david kay, former u.n. weapon inspector and ambassador wendy sherman and chair of the house intelligence committee, subcommittee jane harmine and talking about afghanistan, jeff moral and majority leader hoyer. live in a very busy day in geneva. geneva has been the center of international diplomacy and clearly the top story today at the white house. let's go to savannah guthrie. savannah, big developments within the hour. we have seen iran agree to inspections and we are told they are prompt within weeks and told another high-level meeting and another point is that the uranium foreign minister at the u.n. said he wants to bump the talks up to the summit level. don't think they can go to the summit right away but hillary clinton coming to geneva within weeks and meeting with her iranian counterpart. >> these are all good signs and the u.s. has to be pleased with what they see so far from these talks but as you mentioned, it's where the rubber meets the road and the details and whether iran is really willing

they have indicated they will allow u.n. inspectors into the secret nuclear facility outside of the city of qom. there is agreement in principle to allow some of iran's low enriched uranium to be taken to ssssia to be made into fuel for nuclear reactor. if that happens, it is highly significant because it would take out of the equation material that western countries believed could be made into a nuclear bomb. underlying the diplomacy are threats of force. if no progress is made by the end of the year, iran will face more sanctions, either from the security council or a consortium of the united states, britain, france, and their allies. beyond that, there are the veiled and not so veiled threats of action. >>> our correspondent in tehran is following developments in geneva. both sides seem to feel they got the better of the exchange today. how does it look to you? >> there is much debate on that. upon the face of it, iran did not get an awful lot and in return seem to have staved off the threat of sanctions or worse. really

they stressed the u.n. was following the rules. these prevented from formally filing election complaints. but they said it didn't pass on some information informally and a serious investigation is underway. >> anyone who says that fraud is being ignored is either not watching what is going on in kabul or has other motives. there it is a very substantial investigation being done by the election commission to determine the amount of fraud that took place. >> but beyond who is right or wrong, what is the way out? if i meet karzai and declared the winner, will afghans -- if hamid karzai is declared the winner, will afghans' except the government? and if there is a second round, will anyone accept the election process? this matters if the u.s. decides to send more troops, said the man leading the charge against the u.n. >> the counter insurgency strategy requires an afghan partner that is credible. and a government that comes in through this kind of election are these kinds of circumstances is not going to be credible with a large segme

the head of the u.n. agency held talks in tehran today.ys inspectors want to make sure the site is used for peaceful purposes. it has been a huge concern since iran revealed the nuclear enrichment plan last month. president obama said iran attempted to conceal the plant and that is in violation of international rules on atomic facilities. but iran's leader says his country followed the protocol which requires a country to reveal such a facility six months before it brings nuclear materiel there for processing. >> translator: based on what is stated in the regulations, we had made the announcement one year before the time we had to, out of respect for law and the director-general of the iaea and naturally the united states must have known about it. i do not know why mr. obama was not aware of it. >> u.s. ambassadors say members of the united nations security council are studying options for more sanctions if iran does not prove its motives are peaceful. >>> president obama and first lady michelle celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary an

the u.n. is helping them. gretchen: interesting point. we have lost power now to the iran in the sense that we are not going to have strict sanctions anymore. those are off the table because it appears that iran is playing along with the game, at least for now. they are going to allow investigators into the secret site october 25th. will that happen? bolton argues that that actually weakens america's position because now we are not talking about sanctions anymore. brian: some say that's not even the site where the enriched uranium is or weapons plant is. it could be a head fake. there could be different places. if you say to yourself, inspectors going in will they have access could they go in the front door? will this go out the back door. this is like iraq this whole process. saddam hussein was brilliant in winning over some allies, he was showing that he would give in on certain elements and extending the whole process. that's where so far maybe iran is doing. say, look, if we have a hard co

that is why the president has gotten the u.n. to basically inning there and do this inspection with iran's consent. why he is trying to line up france and britain and other countries to support sanctions against iran if the inspections show they are moving forward with a nuclear program. >> gregg: congressman lathum, iran purchased the nuclear know how from pakistan and let me quote. again the iaea, iran has sufficient information to be able to define and produce a workable implosion nuclear device and, indeed, tehran has already tested an implosion device. they did so successfully and its defined to fit atop of the shahab medium range missile. is there any doubt in geographer mind that iran is building nuclear weapons? >> i don't think there is any question they are building weapons that have the potential to attack russia or excuse me, europe, israel, to destabilize the whole region. you have a country where their leadership denies the holocaust and they are not rational thinkers to begin with. you have last week when benjamin

let's change gears because we're learning that u.n.nspectors will get a look at the iran nuclear facility. iran's president says president obama will be sorry for questioning iran's attentions for the plan. what would happen about if inspectors go in there, find something they don't like and what if everything looks okay? >> i don't think president obama will be sorry for questioning the iranians who continue to lie year in and year out about their intentions to am mass nuclear -- it create nuclear facilities and nuclear fuels. they have spent a lot of money and a lot of time do this. locating this last facility in a place that could not be attacked. i think if something is discovered, obviously something that -- evidence that they are creating weapons it tsh gra creating weapons-grade material, takes it is a tranlg i will franlg i will coalition. and what will china do? comply in a which is engaged selling gasoline to the iranians and reluctance to come to the table to back tougher sanctions. so an adverse discovery obviously that tes

>> nuclear years of achievement, the u.n. does things very slowly. iran makes the u.n. and others do it even slower. they are masters at playing for time. look at that last meeting in geneva. it came out, yes, there was a great meeting. now we're going to meet again in a few weeks' time. the inspectors have three weeks to go in there. once they'll be there, i'll assure you another visit will be scheduled and another visit will be scheduled. and the problem is we do not have time. the main thing to understand, the main thing for the president of the united states to understand and the leaders of the free world, including blair who joined in that friday in pittsburgh is there are two clocks here. there's an ecological clock of iran and the diplomatic clock. as you know so well, eric, also from your experience and you outline it had in your great book, that the clock is very slow and we cannot afford to waste time because one day we will wake up to a nuclear iran and by then it will be too late. so we have to act quickly and realize that the most crucial element is the one

the head of the u.n. nuclear agency held talks in tehran today, and he says inspectors want to make sure the site is used for peaceful purposes. it's been a big concern since iran revealed the nuclear enrichment plant last month. the u.s. and other countries have been accusing iran of secretly developing a nuclear bomb. and president obama says iran was hiding this plant for years, but iran's leader says, that's not true. >> translator: based on what is stated in the regulations, we had made the announcement one year before the time we had to out of respect for law and the director general of the iaea and naturally the united states must have known about it. i do not know why mr. obama was not aware of it. >> meanwhile, u.n. experts says iran has all the information it needs to design and build a nuclear bomb. a confidential analysis was published yesterday in "the new york times." those same experts say they need more evidence to be sure about the extent of iran's nuclear knowledge, but their report says

recently during the u.n. general assembly in new york, americans sue this kind of parade of anti-americanism. you see chavez of venezuela, ahmadinejad of iran and gadhafi who may still be speaking as far as we know. you once said the u.n. is imperfect, but it's also indispensable. when you look at that showing, what is the indispensable part? >> david, there are 192 countries in the united nations. you pick out three that provided barroom drama during the course of the general assembly. the united nations is a critically important to our national security because it is the one place that we can marshall with the force of law to commit other nations to do things we need to protect our security. for example, when we got the security council last june to pass the toughest sanctions on the books today against any country in the world, north korea, we got something that was much more powerful than anything we would muster on our own. we are not able, given transnational threats, terrorism, climate change pandemic,
