Residents, human and animal alike. Hello and welcome to our viewers in the United States and around the world. Im zain asher. An iranian official says reaching a deal by monday is impossible. Thats according to a news agency in iran. Now negotiations have been working all weekend to come to an agreement. And some say that big gaps remain in those talks. Now were going to be heading live to vienna and tehran in just a minute. But first we explain what the debate is all about. Reporter the talks involve seven nations and several issues. But think of it overall as a trade. What will iran give up, and what will it get in return . The west among other thing wants iran to limit its capacity to enrich uranium, the process that produces nuclear fuel but at higher levels can arm a Nuclear Weapon as well. Iran says it isnt trying to build a Nuclear Weapon and says that International Law protects its right to a Peaceful Nuclear program. And in fact its president , rouhani says that Nuclear Weapons, in his words contradict their fundamental religious and ethical conditions. But it has a history of hiding things. Among them, the enrichment facility which was discovered by satellites and spies built underground. So how many centrifuges should they be allowed to operate, how far should the enrichment process be allowed to go. Should russia take some of the uranium enrichment, and how far should penetration be to check for cheating . Talks on those issues touch on irans sovereignty, about its suspicions about the wests intentions and its need to break free from crippling sanctions. It is sanctions that ran want addressed. How quickly and completely will t the United Nations and u. S. Stop sanctions. From saudi arabia to the u. S. Senate, there is enorm muss skepticism about what any agreement will be worth. All which explains why there hasnt been an agreement until now. Okay, well, lets get more now on this weekends meetings. And i am joined live from vienna a and tehran. How hopeful are we that a deal is going to be reached in time . Reporter i think from what were hearing from the semiofficial news agency, they feel that it is not possible to get a complete agreement by the deadline monday. Its really an indication that certainly what weve been hearing from all other parties here that it will be tough. Theyre saying now its completely impossible. Theyre also saying that this, from the semiofficial Iranian News Agency saying that an option to extend the talks is on the table. Now what the state department is saying at the moment, a Senior State Department official tells cnn that really the focus, the focus at the moment is still on trying to get a deal done. According to one Senior State Department official, there are still key decisions, Big Decisions that the iranians need to take. And every effort is still being made at meetings to move things forward. Secretary of state john kerry is due to meet with his iranian counterpart, his eu counterpart in the next few hours, and they continue to chip away at all the issues that remain. But it is a process of incrementally moving forward, still. Thats what were being told with the focus still on the deadline. However, when we listen to what john kerry had to say yesterday, its clear that optimism isnt high on his side either. This is what he said. Within, obviously having difficult talks here, complicated topic. Were working hard. We hope were making careful progress. But we have big gaps. We still have some serious gaps, yes were working to close. The good thing is, we are united and working in concert. And were simply not going to say anything substantive about the discussions wheel theyre going on, but a lot of serious work is going on by a lot of people. Reporter so that was secretary of state kerry yesterday when he weighs meeting with walter steinmire. But to frame this as the state department puts it, there are not talks about an extension yet. They wont get to that until perhaps later tonight, zane. So they havent talked about an extension yet. As negotiations continue, do we know if the six western countries involved are all on the same page . Are are there divisions within that group . Reporter well, this is something that secretary kerry made mention of yesterday when he was talking, and he did say that everyone is in the same position, and it is interesting to hear what, Sergey Lavrov said everything was on the table there for iran. Certainly what were hearing from all parties. We hear from the British Foreign sent on friday, when he was here, he sounds very much in step with what weve heard from kerry, from lavrov. From the German Foreign minister. Theyre all saying pretty much the same thing. So publicly, at least, they seem to be in lock step on this issue, despite obviously many differences on many other international issues. Okay. Well see what the next 36 hours bring, okay, nick robertson, we appreciate it. Rhesa, the final decision remains with rouhani. How much pressure are they under . Reporter zain, hes under a lot of pressure. Remember when rouhani ran last year, he promised better relations with the international community. He promised that hed get these sanctions lifted with the agreement with the p 5 plus one. If this doesnt happen, if rouhani doesnt deliver, a lot of prime going to be disappointed, and perhaps hardliners who are against these talks to begin with, theyre going to be rejuvenated, empowered. However, he does seem to have some things in his favor. Here in iran, based on what weve observed, you get the impression that many iranians believe that iran has made an ea earnest effort. Remember, for the past year, iran has not enriched uranium beyond 5 . It has downblended and eliminated all of its 20 enriched uranium. It has agreed to reconfigure the iraq heavy water factory and agreed not to make any advancements. It has also agreed to increase inspections. So their position is theyve made compromises, and most iranians believe its the west thats not being flexible enough. So that seemingly lifts some pressure off mr. Rouhani in three can come back to iran and say we tried, and it was the west that was inflexible, but a lot of pressure remains on, especially with the economy. People want better lives, better economy, much of that linked to the sanctions that will not be lifted or eased without an agreement tomorrow. And you bring me to my next point, which is of course those sanctions. I know iran desperately wants those lifted. Irans economy has struggled under these sanctions. Tell me what irans Economic Future will look like once these economic sanctions are lifted. I imagine it will be very different. Reporter it would have a huge impact. And thats why many people here in iran and many people investors are so eager to see some kind of deal. Remember, irans economy is dependent on oil exports, the sanctions have cut in half irans oil exports. It has cut off iran from the International Banks system. If these sanctions are lifted, iran starts exporting oil, generating a lot of money. It can use the International Banks system. That, obviously, improves trade. Despite the sanction, iran is a top car produce ner this region, a top steel exporter. Many say what would happen without these sanctions. So a lot of possibilities, only if sanctions are lifted. But unfortunately at this point in time no indication that thats going to happen with an agreement tomorrow. Yeah, and even if the nuclear deal is reached, chances are the west will gradually reduce the sanctions so as to monitor the situation. Okay. Thank you, live there in tehran. We appreciate it. Well Iraqi Military and tribal forces are battling isis in the city of ramadi. Fighting broke out after isis launched a coordinated attack from Different Directions around the city. So far at least 23 tribes men and 12 isis militants have died in the fighting. It has happened close to the main government complex of anbar province.
