But apparently, theres been some progress and with that march 31st deadline looming, we know they want to get something on paper. Lets take a look at what were hearing. Initial reports indicating it might be a deal in which secretary kerry and irans foreign minister agreed there would be a reduction in irans centrifuge machine. Thats whats used to build weapons by about 40 . That would make it much more difficult to put together the Nuclear Material needed. The u. S. And allies would then lift over time some of the sanctions that have made daily life just so difficult on iranians. A message president obama sent directly today to the iranian people in this somewhat unusual video message. Irans leaders have a choice between two paths. If they cannot agree to a reasonable deal, they will keep iran on the path its on today. Isolated iran and the iranian people from so much of the world. If irans leaders can agree to a reasonable deal, it can lead to a better path. The path of greater opportunities for the iranian people.

Leon well, how am i going to dont wait for my answer. Theres a man in alabama though, whose answer would be yes. Fran hudson is his name and he played hockey on and off for 80 years now. Next week, he turns 86. Hudson says he enjoys spending his retirement years on the ice. Although hes changed his game up a little bit, he still scores the goals. I go out there and play, i make a lot of mistakes. Im slower than the other guys. But every now and then, i make a play, you know, and thats enough to carry me to the next game. Leon looking pretty good there for 85 or 86. Some of hudsons friends submitted an application to the guiness book of world records. They want him verified as the oldest man in the u. S. Still playing hockey. Alison its working for him. Leon good genes there. Alison lets get a check on traffic. Bob emler in the wtop traffic center. Hi, bob. Bob at least with the warm temperatures we dont have to skate home today. Wet pavement out there on 95 traveling southbound as you head over the occoquan and down past quantico they were looking for a crash there. So things are generally doing ok in the rain. Westbound towards centreville, its just volume delays. Not too bad. Headed out there. Pretty good on 66. Otherwise, things are doing all right around the beltway. Just take a look at some cameras as we travel south on 395 here by washington boulevard, not a bad drive at all. A little farther south, it starts to slow down headed for landmark and traffic on the beltway and river road slow in both directions on the inner loop out of tysons and on the outer loop headed across the American Legion bridge, no incidents along the way, though.
