He will accompany the secretary of state when he returns to the United States later today. Kerry broke his leg while biking on sunday. He was in switzerland for the Nuclear Talks. Now he faces up to six months of rehab. I want to turn to correspondent Nic Robertson who is on the phone from geneva. The secretary of state, nic, has a full plate. A june 30th deadline to reach this nuclear deal. How will this femur factor into the situation . Reporter it already factored in. Kerry was in the University Hospital outside of geneva. Clearly atop of the agenda was to get back home and get on the mend. Clearly his doctors have had other advice. Additional security outside this hospital before they go in. Thats abnormal because secretary kerry is here. He is awaiting his doctor to arrive from boston. The talks are now 30 days to the deadline for negotiations with iran. There are many issues unresolved. Key among them are inspections and sanctions. Secretary kerrys relationship with the Iranian Foreign minister is key. They both know each other and they both read each other. Secretary kerry has a lot of experts to negotiate some of the details and understand what each step means, getting those steps to happen is very much a personal matter between him and the foreign minister and being able to read his face and language and understand expressions and know when he is pushed too hard. That has been critical. The deadline for that is 30 days for that as secretary kerry will have a long rehab which could very well have an impact. At the moment he is still in hospital here. He has been in hospital for almost 24 hours, john. You know they thought he might fly back on sunday but they wanted to keep him overnight for observations. This is a serious thing. He had a hip injury before. He broke a femur in this injury. It takes a long time to recover. Nic robertson for news geneva. We will stay on this story. Thanks nic. He must be frustrated.

Officials in the west are on edge as isis gains ground in libya. We have cnns correspondent ian lee with the latest from cairo. The advance is moving slowly, i think it is fair to say. Reporter you are right, christine. They are moving slowly because isis is very good as digging in and slowing down iraqi forces. They leave the roadside bombs and mines which iraqi forces are careful to avoid. They hit them from time to time but a lot of it are the engineering teams trying to clear the road. Were seeing these air strikes and artillery which has been crucial in the past to dislodged isis from the areas that they hold. Dont expect this to be a quick battle. Isis knows how to dig in. They will fight until the last man. They are, though going up against the shiite militias which have proven to be effective in the past although controversial. Another force we are watching are the sunni tribes claiming they are not getting the weapons from the iraqi Central Government. Weapons they need. United states has said they are talking about arming these sunni tribes directly. Something that the tribes are very happy with. There is a lot of mistrust between the two.

How does this effect the issues of isis and the Iran Nuclear Deal . Reporter the Iran Nuclear Deal is the most pressing issue that 30 days until the deadline. There are many issues that have not been resolved to get to the deadline of june 30th. Secretary kerry had many meetings with the foreign minister. The two know each other. Secretary kerrys relationship with zariff. And how to get the United States the best position with the nuclear deal. Kerry has a lot of experts in the details of the negotiations. That relationship is critical to the process. Im standing outside the hospital where secretary kerry is right now in geneva. He has been here for almost 24 hours. When he crashed off his bike 30 miles away from here negotiating a curb is what we are hold. He fell on his right side breaking his femur. His doctor is flying from boston here to be with secretary kerry when he returns throws open the medical question will the doctor make a decision here that perhaps once he has seen the injuries at first hand lead him to decide that perhaps secretary kerry needs more action here before flying home. Bringing in the physician who treated secretary kerry and performed the hip replacement several years ago. That is a big and significant medical step not to be underestimated. A broken femur is not a small matter and so much on his plate. I cannot imagine how frustrated he is. Nic, thank you. Nic brings up a good point. The surgeon flying from the u. S.

At least 31 people have been killed and 82 wounded. Officials here are on edge as isis is now gaining ground in libya. Isis obviously fighting on so many fronts including iraq syria, libya and beyond. Cnns correspondent seeian lee with the latest from cairo. Reporter good morning, john. We have been focusing on iran and syria, but a presence across north africa and egypt and tunisia. Unlike these countries where a strong Central Government and Security Force to combat the forces you look at libya where there is no Central Government or Security Force that can go after them. They are taking certain cities and beyond that. This has western diplomats and anxious. If you look at the map, you see the flood of migrants going from libya to europe. Isis militants could infiltrate europe and carry out an attack. As we see them gain ground in libya, not at the rate we have seen in syria or iraq but they are gaining ground this will be a very real threat as it is on europes door step and the threat is very real. The western governments i have talked to some diplomats and they are holding out on a political solution with the various factions to come together and defeat isis. There is a lot of skepticism that could take place. Here in egypt, the government is pushing for a stronger reaction to isis militants calling for a military solution to the problem. Although western governments so far dont believe that is the right course to take john. Ian lee for us in cairo. So many questions facing this administration here in the United States. 48 minutes past the hour. Travel ban extended for five exgitmo inmates freed in exchange for a u. S. Soldier. The deal is temporary. We are live with what comes next ahead. Qatar is agreeing to extend a travel ban on five senior taliban leaders released from prison in Guantanamo Bay in exchange for captured Sergeant Bowe bergdahl. This after the Obama Administration said it was closing in on the deal to extend those bans for six months. We have Becky Anderson live for us in abu dhabi. Reporter good morning. For the time being, the men and families stay in qatar. Nothing is official. A senior official telling us the gulf nation agreed to temporary extend the travel ban while discussions continue with the parties. The u. S. And afghanistan and qatar. They are looking for longterm solution. You will remember the images a year ago today. Jubilation as the men mostly mid to high level officials in the taliban regime on qatar soil reunited with family members after being in detention in Guantanamo Bay for 12 years. Relinquished by the u. S. To secure the release of Sergeant Bowe bergdahl held by the taliban for five years. How long the ban will be in effect, john and what happens to the men and the families are unclear at this point. We are told that u. S. Officials are quote close contact with qatar authorities. I quote again to make sure the men do not pose a threat to the u. S. Washington is concerned about the prospect of the men returning to the battle field and endangering the u. S. Troops in advisory roles. Those concerns heightened by confirmed reports that three of the former detainees have attempted to make contact with active members of the taliban while being under supervision in qatar. Behind closed doors, i have to say this Prisoner Exchange touted as a winwin when first released. I was in qatar at the time and now seen by many as a failure on the part of the Obama Administration and to remind us and our viewers, Bowe Bergdahl was recently charged with desertion. Controversial on every front, becky. I appreciate it. 54 minutes past the hour. The happiest place on earth wage surge pricing. Why the next ticket to disney world could cost more.

Levis says this could help you interact with the real world instead of staring at your phones. Disney theme parks may have surge pricing. In a survey disney asked for feedback on a tiered pricing. Disney has not released any official details about the idea or findings. There has been plenty of venting on social media. Some people dont understand how can an experience cost different one time of day than another. Maybe it can help manage crowds. I predict disney will do what makes them the most money. Early start continues right now. Breaking overnight, the nsa domestic Surveillance Program is over for now. We will have the details ahead. A surprising objectstacle for now.
