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.
