. >>> i'm ali velshi "on target" tonight from the iranian capital city of tehran >>> well, it's another day and another deadline blown. iran says it is not ready to make a deal until it gets what it wants from the west. the west says it's not making a deal until it gets what it wants from iran. the question is how closer they, they've been hearing from both sides because they were closer than they have ever been, and they are not walking away until they know there's cause to do so. it does make it wonder, david shuster in our studios in new york. what does the deadline mean? >> it means that there's proof that the word deadline means something different to nuclear negotiators of journalists and others who lives depend on getting work done by immovable date and time. the meaning of the term deadline says back to the civil war. it was a literal line inside a prison, and prisoners who step over it risk being shot to death. by contrast the deadlines in nuclear negotiations are self imposed and have no penalties. it may be a reason why so many of the iran nuclear deadlines come and go. since
