. >> this was the reaction from people in tehran. the deal will bring an end to debilitating sanctions. with the show of unity there is uncertainty and questions about trust and transparentcy. will it hold? what if it doesn't? we have more now from jamie mcintyre. >> reporter: well, john, there is a lot in this agreement. let's take a look at some of the main points. the first one is that the--the iran has agreed to reduce it's youit's uranium producing centerfuges. in addition it will reduce its stock pile of enriched uranium of five tons and will keep it there for 15 years. and the site where nuclear weapons have been developed. they'll grant action assess to iaea inspectors. and the sanctions that iran so desperate to have lifted and the arms embargo will remain in effect for five years. that will be eight years for the importation of pa his tick missile. you know, john this is not just a significant effort to get--to keep iran from getting nuclear weapons, but this could mark a turning point in u.s. iranian relations. >> presiden

but in tehran they weren't listening. >> we did it! we finally did it! >> reporter: nbc's ali arouzi is in the crowd tonight. >> there's singing and dancing on the streets of tehran. you never see these things. people are overjoyed -- [ cheers ] >> reporter: but in israel there's no faith the iranian regime can or will change. deal or no deal. >> no wonder everybody in the streets celebrating. because they got everything they wanted and the west got nothing at all. >> reporter: netanyahu said as far as israel is concerned the west just got -- >> the leading international powers are betting our future on a deal with a formal sponsor of international terrorism. >> reporter: israelis worry they'll have to pay the price if this diplomatic gamble doesn't work. >> i think he made a big mistake. obama made a big mistake. but no one can do nothing. he decided, and he was so determined in this mission. >> reporter: the israeli government couldn't stop the deal in vienna. but it's hardly giving up. the next step is to use israel's friends and supporters to spike t

al jazeera's diplomatic editor james bays is in vienna. >> the iaea chief is just back from tehran. his organization for a long time has been asking iran questions. it wants to know how it got the know how and components for nuclear weapons. although there are still some sticking points at the attacks it's clear both sides now are also looking at how to sell a deal. that's why i think it was in the interest of both the iranians and the p5+1 for the iaea chief to make this public statement. >> with cooperation from iran, i think we can issue a report by the end of the year on the assessment of that agreement. once an agreement is reached on the comprehensive plan of action, the iaea is ready to implement the nuclear related element when requested. >> respecting more foreign ministers back here in vienna from sunday evening they are then expected to stay in this city joining the negotiations which are going on around the clock. western diplomats say that the seventh of july, that's tuesday is their final deadline. >> now the lebanese armed group said that the battle in syria has begun

you can see tehran looks like a modern city it doesn't have an ancient feeling. iranians want a fair deal. they don't want to the give away the house. the economy has suffered. the currency devalued the banking sanctions affected the prosperity of iranians. they are okay. they want the sanctions lifted. they are okay if it takes a few more dies to get the deal the government says it wants, the same way that president obama is saying we'll stick with this until it gets down. president obama indicates that he's losing patients and there's a similar sentiment on this side. >> a few days is one thing. we saw the celebrations in iran when the graham work deal was announced. -- framework deal was announced. how much pressure is there for the government because the sanctions are wanted to be lifted and hopefully get a different economy. >> a lot of pressure. i expected to be up all night reporting on this. i think i might spend more time in the streets. we thought we would be if there was a deal. people have been hit by the actions. a number of things happened. iran can

he is in tehran having technical discussions with senior level officials there. perhaps one of those will include a discussion about military dimension which is something that iran has not ever explained and opened up to the iaea in the past. and of course this is a big issue for state department officials in these negotiations. if iran is going to make a good deal it's going to open up about possible military dimensions which is the sort of official language and terminology for has iran put any nuclear technology to use trying to make weapons and that is the central question here. so potentially the head of the iaea mae get more insights in that tehran. >> we'll wait to hear from you again nic robertson. >>> a ferry has capsized off a port in the philippines. the boat was heading to sebu with 173 passengers on board. that is all the information we have as we are just learning about this story. as we hear more we will bring it to you. >>> now to the u.s. where authorities want to know if airlines are unlawfully keeping ticket prices high. several carriers were se

you've spent several days in tehran at this point. do you get that sense when you talk to the average iranian that they have the mistrusts of americans given the long and contentious mistrust between our two countries? >> >> ok, i apologize with that obviously our live shot out of tehran, we have lost that. officials say a top official died, he was a member of the pakistani taliban before joining isil. >> greece's parliament is set to meet for discussion about the latest proposal to end the country's debt crisis. alexis tsipras is trying to keep his country in the euro zone. the plan raises taxes on businesses and gets rid of tax discounts in lucrative industries like tourism. it cuts military spending. tsipras's proposal would reform the pension program discouraging early retirement and increasing how much retirees pay for health care. the government wants to cut back on tax evasion a huge problem in greece, including new anti corruption laws, anew auditing system and bigger penalties for tax evaders. what does greece want in return

inspections regime is in tehran as we speak. and i think we're going to hear answers back in the next 12 14 hours about what arrangements are being made. but he did seem upbeat and it kind of you feel this momentum that we're building to something. >> and right now the iranian foreign minister is meeting with secretary kerry. we should point out that john kerry is here. he is hobbling from a broken leg from the last round of talks. we saw him yesterday when he came out to announce the cuba agreement on crutches. they haven't let us take pictures of him with crutches but there he was posing and holding his crutches. so he's down but not out. but he has been part of secret negotiations that go back to hillary clinton. she's going to have to own this politically, the pros and cons of this deal, if it comes together. you've been reporting exclusively on the back channel talks. tell me about the secret talks through oman that have been going on for the last couple of years between the u.s. and iran since president obama was elected.

tehran is the capital of iran located in the north. tehran is a modern city with roots in the past. the great muslim religious college is one of the intellectual centers of the islamic world. these young men are studying to be religious leaders. a woman wearing the enveloping should do or is a reminder that even here in this modern city are strong links with eastern tradition. new buildings and modern apartments are among the visible signs of progress in tehran. young iranians with a growing spirit of national pride are becoming the doctors, teachers engineers, and leaders of the future. esfahan is the art and craft center of iran,. much of the imperial splendor survives. and in the bizarre the ancient crafts like copper smithing continue little changed. modern machinery has come to iran but it is still far less difficult to 5 -- two higher a skilled craftsman by the day that to buy a machine to do his job. the hands of craftsman turn their special skill to the creation of fine articles of silver. machinery will never be able to replace craftsman like these. their skills are not eas

in a big step from washington and tehran, that was over three decades ago. there was a breakthrough in 1998. the u.s. wrestling team made the first official visit to the country since ties were severed. charles spoke to the bbc witness program. here is his story. >> we were the first americans to actually go to the -- to iran since 20 years since the hostage crisis. we were a little nervous. at the same time, i was very excited. i was going to get my first opportunity to go to iran and compete against some of the best wrestlers. i was the first american to wrestle an iranian and iran in two decades. i had known that he had been a national champion from iran and have placed in the world and was one of the better wrestlers. i won't forget it because he was strong. really strong. it makes you nervous watching him. he is the hometown favorite. i scored early and turned him on top, which is unusual. he came back and got a score on me. he stormed back. this is a defining moment in the match. he took me down again and it gave him more steam to push through. at the

in the streets of tehran, people hate the sanction. s. -- sanctions. i showed you the money. inflation is running at 15%, a few years ago it was 45%. the economy is growing, it is not in recession, and it does not look like a place that is about to go under. they managed their way around sanctions. there are not other countries in the world that will sell goods to iran, and while it can't get cars and machinery, it can get some. people want a deal. they don't want any dole. that is reported in the press, and that's what i hear from a lot of people. in the end i don't think the average iranian is as consumed by the minutia of negotiations as with the potential for sanctions being lifted. you mentioned the ability to manage the sanctions, we understand there's a lot of internal pressure on iran to reach a deal. there's a number of reports that iran has a water crisis and needs an embargo lifted. other parts are in desire need of technology. what kind of pressure does that put on the iranian side to reach a deal. it's a lot. we are at an auto parts factory, these are the things

ali velshi has more from tehran. >> reporter: it is wednesday morning in tehran. the sun rising and it is another day after which another deadline has passed for a nuclear deal. in fact things have slowed down a little bit in vienna. some foreign ministers have left the negotiations. however, u.s. authorities and iranian authorities insist that negotiations are continuing. they still remain in their own characterization closer than they have ever been before. and there is still talk of a deal by friday. the sticking point now is the u.n. embargo on convention alarms in iran, not nuclear arms. iran has for sometime been unable to trade legally in non-nuclear arms and it would like the right to do that again. in most cases the western powers think this is a non-starter. they don't want more narms this region, fearing that iran will arm others in the region in what some are calling a proxy war. on the other hand russia is interested in iran having more armaments for a few reasons. one of which is that russia could sell those arms to iran the other of course is that r

ali velshi has more from tehran. >> reporter: as thursday comes to an end in tehran still no word on a deal for the nuclear negotiations in vienna. however, good tone of optimism coming out of iranian media. there seems to be some sort of press offensive starting this morning when the iranian foreign minister said that world powers are closer together than they ever have been. but that there are political decisions that remain to be made. political decisions mean that much of the technical stuff has been worked out. there is agreement on language and things like that but people have to say yes or no to the deal coming out of tehran. hard liners are stepping up their offensive in iran against such a deal. they are expecting some demonstrations tomorrow, friday in iran whether or not there is a deal. there are reports in iranian media that the deadline has been extended to monday that has not been confirmed -- in fact it has been denied off of the record by some people in vienna. but lots of journalists coming in this here more people talking about the fact that there may be a deal. th

. >> for many of the young people in tehran, it is as if sanctions have already been lifted. they see a brighter future for themselves and their country. governments call these family photos. who would've thought the foreign minister of iran would be center stage after all of the years of international isolation, smiling and joking with the world's great powers because they have finally done a nuclear deal. in tehran and washington the president strode to the microphone to welcome the deal in different ways. president obama: we have stop the spread of nuclear weapons in the region. the coats of this deal the international community will be able to verify the islamic republic of iran will not develop a nuclear weapon. president kem -- president khamenei: iran has never pursued that path. and never will. >> the deal means that iran has scaled down its nuclear program substantially, pushing back the day it would be able to build a bomb if it decided to do so. iran will except intrusive monitoring by u.n. inspectors from the atomic agency based indiana. -- based in vienna. today'

iran's prime minister landed back in tehran following the mammoth negotiations. the agreement will see iran limit nuclear activities in turn for the lifting of crippling sanctions. supporters from the deal gathered on the streets overnight. men celebrated the lifting of the deal and the impact on iran's reputation. >> binyamin netanyahu called iranians underdeveloped people. today we showed to the world we can solve problems with dialogue negotiations and diplomatic means. >> translation: i'm very excited to see that iran achieved the nuclear deal. i think the whole world has seen a new imaging of iran people respect iran. we thank mohammad javad zarif. i want to say to him well done. >> not everyone is happy with a deal. u.s. president obama has the task of reassuring israel gulf allies and u.s. congress who opposed the deal. patty culhane reports from washington. >> americans woke up to an unusual early morning address from u.s. president obama. detailing specifics of the deal from the public while sending a warning to the u.s. congress. >> precisely because th

mark: test to finalize a deal between the p5 plus one and tehran started in vienna last month after several rounds of discussions. both iran and the u.s. claim a conference of agreement has never been closer. secretary kerry: we are just working and it is too early to make judgments. mark: once again, deadlines have been problematic. among the reasons for delays -- argument over inspections at the speed at which sanctions are lifted. after the third extension in two weeks, negotiators on both sides say a deal is within reach. if and when that will happen is another question. laura: the military overhaul in nigeria now. president mohamed buhari has replaced the heads of the army navy, and air force, in a move that was widely expected. it comes following a string of regional attacks by the islamist group boko haram. there was a suicide bombing in the northern cameroon this monday with at least 12 people killed. another suicide bomber struck northern nigeria's western city while in the capital chad, a suicide bomber dressed as a woman blew himself up at a crowded market. 15 people died in that

and tehran broke off relations. under the geneva convention, the u.s. is responsible for maintaining the building but don't expect more. there is talk that the u.s. may be able to use the moment to help end syria's civil war. >> we need to see whether or not the iranians are willing to play ball to corrected this situation. to date we've not done that. we've placed our emphasis entirely on the nuclear issue. we've set aside these other things and now it's time to pivot. >> and it could deprive isil, a mutual enemy of recruiting tools. but such cooperation runs the risk of increasing tensions between the u.s. and it's traditional ally sunni-dominated saudi arabia, which views iran as as as a rival however, time is running out for the obama administration with just 17 months before it leaves office. it has a landmark deal with iran but it's likely to be years before the country is distinctively regarded by the u.s. as a friend and not foe. >> in iraq 23 fighters have been killed in an attack in baghdad. they're moving close for ramadi in efforts to take t

importantly on thursday, we have a visit from the head of the international at atomic energy agency to tehran to see the president. key in this if there is a deal they have to police the deal. where would their inspectors be allowed to go in would they go to military sites.

the relief from sanctions will only start when tehran has met their key initial nuclear commitments. for example, when it has removed the core from the iraq reactor. when it has dismantled the centrifuges it agreed to dismantle. when it shipped out the enriched uranium it agreed to ship out. when these and other commitments are met, the sanctions relief will begin to be implemented in phases. the reason for that is simple confidence is never built overnight. it has to be developed over time. this morning, foreign minister zarif expressed his hope that this agreement could be a beginning of a change of the interactions between iran and the international community. >> we have been listening there to secretary of state, john kerry spell out what he has been working on these past many weeks and months. he made a joke, this is the first time he's worn shoes in six weeks because he was working around the clock and he's been injured. he spelled out in detail what to expect. he and the president said it is the best deal they could have got. the show for his authority and commitment to the pr

again time is shorts. >> benjamin netanyahu is not popular on the streets of tehran. i wouldn't say iran is as a population anti-israel but my experience on social media and my experience with the public i've also been following and studying iranian politics for years i can tell you benjamin netanyahu is not exactly the most popular politician on the streets of tehran. people in iran are pretty happy they've gotten the deal, they are looking forward to sanction he relief and getting back to normal but iran has not been the most cooperative element in the region and we're hoping to change that over the course of time. >> we are going to have to leave it there aresh aramesh thank you. >>> greek prime minister alexis tsipras faceing a lot of controversy in his own country. dominic cain has the story. >> ordinarily the coalition government huge majority means legislation is easily passed but not this time. friday, was angela merkel's 61th birthday. but her thoughts were on the present, the rebellion among her own supporters. she sought to soothe the fears for those who di

ali velshi is in tehran talking about the negotiations. >> it is early morning here in tehran, capital city of iran. subdued but conscious optimism that the deal will be on right track. not a influence deadline, just an extension of the july 1st deadline. the conversations are still going on in geneva but the sticking point is how the west determines what the nuclear program is about. when you speak to officials they will tell you, this is about civilian use not military use. the west in some cases believe that iran is developing nuclear weapons or wants to develop nuclear weapons doesn't have the capability to do so yet but will, what type of access will inspectors get to nuclear enrichment facilities, production facilities and centrifuges. there is also a very specific request and that is that the iaea get to interview iran's senior nuclear scientists to determine from them what kind of work has been done in iran. by determining that they'll get a sense of whether vaughn telling the truth whether it's a civilian nuclear pranl or whether it's nuclear bomb or missiles that have been ai

and there was celebration in the streets of tehran, dancing in the street which is not allowed in tehran. the police were okay. they were standing by and watching it. people are happy that the deal came. >> we were having conversations about having you from the live spot in tehran doing it segment. but we thought maybe you'd get to be a bit more open with us york city. that? >> yes, my last shot was on the top of press tv, government owned. highly secured i wouldn't want to be stuck there if they were mad at me. monitored. >> did you have a minder. conversation. i suspect we were monitored in other ways. we knew that. we didn't go in looking to do things that would get us in trouble. we didn't talk to dissidents or journalists that were gaoled. conversation. we made requests to speak to people who opposed the government, and we did speak to some reformists who were running against the government. but people self-censored when they talked to us, and to some degree when we were on the rooftop, we self-censored too. >> was it clear as a journalist, from the west, what the red lines were. >>
