Kind of deal. So the pressure is really on. But were talking about a very vague statement, even if one comes out today, because its very clear there is still unresolved issues. It seems as if at the best theyre agreeing to keep talking. Chris . Elise, please keep us informed of any movement in the talks. There is no question that president obama has a lot riding on the iran situation. The question is now, what if this plan to negotiate doesnt work . Lets bring in cnn senior White House Correspondent jim acosta with more. The white house is adamant that president obama is not going to accept a bad deal with iran. Last night the president held a Video Conference call with his National Security team and with secretary of state john kerry, and Energy Secretary earnest monese leading the u. S. Side of the talks in switzerland. At this point u. S. Officials cannot say whether theyll reach a breakthrough at the negotiations the one thing that press secretary made clear to reporters yesterday is that the u. S. Is prepared to walk away from the talks. He said the option of military action against iran is on the table should these talks fail. And theres obviously a lot at stake for secretary kerry, as well as the president. As you mentioned, after the talks missed its deadline yesterday, the rnc put out a statement saying the president had crossed another red line. If you thought the republicans would give the president a break if the talks failed guess again. Back to you. Jim, thanks so much for that update. Lets bring in cnns chief International Correspondent christiane amanpour. Tell us what your sources are telling you about where they are in the talks . Well a wire has just dropped from reuters out of switzerland saying that unless this is from the iranian point of view unless a framework for the lifting of all sanctions is in place, there will be no deal. And weve been reporting that for a long time. Yesterday i spoke to one of the key negotiators from a previous period but under president rouhani who says there has to be proportionality. Thats where its sticking in terms of the iranian deal at the table. Want to see a framework for the sanctions being lifted. Thats apparently not forthcoming. Because theres the United States france is also quite strict on the idea of not lifting all the sanctions in the same timeframe that iran wants it. So that is where the Sticking Point is this morning. More than just a Sticking Point, also right . Because the alternative, christiannecyst Christiane Christiane is that if the negotiations fall flat congress is going to impose a new set of sanctions. How is that playing into the leverage . Obviously people are trying to use as much leverage as they have on all sites, the you state, Europe CongressPrime Minister netanyahu and speaker john bain remember speaking right now in jerusalem. They dont want this deal. That has been the sort of mood music around this these negotiations since they began. The number of people who dont want it to happen have been so so loud and those who do want it to happen have slightly been on the defensive. The iranians according to the iaea the u. N. Nuclear watchdog have been keeping their end of the bargain since the interim deal went into effect. And then was extended. And they want sanctions released. This is the sine quenon of the iranian position. R d in the future. How much of the stockpile of enriched urine young will stay in iran how much will be sent out or diluted. But iranian experts and people inside the negotiations i talk to say this is what they want. The sanctions is the biggest thing at this precise moment and youve seen the wire drop from reuters. We havent confirmed it. That seems to be part of what theyre saying now. All of this is set against this big cultural background. David sanger wrote a very interesting article for the New York Times this morning. And it gives you a real sort of fly on the wall perspective about the cultural differences that he says are sort of causing a rift between the two sides. Basically that americans are detail oriented transactional. And that iranians deal in more symbolism. What do you think about the cultural differences getting in the way . Well look symbolism on the one hand yes. Because they want to see these negotiations succeed. And it is you know what president rouhani and foreign secretary zarif have brought to the table. Their government sort of depends on being able to better the life and the economy of the iranians who voted for them. And as you know in iran there is a massive majority of people who voted for this moderate leadership. So symbolism to an extent. But its not just symbolism. It is about lifting sanctions. That is what their economy and their country has suffered from. So they want that gone. When it comes to symbolism, i spoke to a former negotiator who said look for 35 years, there has been estrangement hostility, outright enmitty between the United States and iran this is the first time in 35 years since the revolution theyve had this time together negotiating, talking to each other at personal and professional levels and getting down to the serious business. But being so close together for so long after so long estrangement. Christiane quickly when we talk about the symbolism, you have whats happening when theyre together and then you have whats happening when theyre not. In terms of symbolism, yemen is iran driven. And whats going on in iraq in terms of whats irandriven and moving in to take ownership of the iraqi fight there. Whats going on in syria. How is all of that contaminating the process at the table . To be honest i dont think it is. Because i think the negotiations around the table are pure and simple arms control negotiations. If you want to throw it back to the soviet time the United States and the soviet union had arms control agreements while they disagreed on just about everything else. That was going on in the world. The soviets fear of influence, the americans fleer of influence, that was happening while there were arms control agreements on the table. It is i think very separate and each side has said that theyre keeping them very separate. Although there has been a little crosspollination when it comes to iraq. Because iran has backed the shiite militias theyve had boots on the ground so to speak to try to push back isis. The United States has come in and bombed tikrit areas, bombed the positions of isis and they have helped a lot in the liberation of tikrit. So there is a little theyre on the same page to an extent right now in the fight against isis. But all the other things theyre not. Christiane always great to get your perspective, thanks so much. All right. Developing overnight, police denying claims that cell phone video exists from inside flight 9525 capturing the final moments before the jet crashed into the french alps this as lufthansa now acknowledges it knew about the copilots bout with severe depression during training. Cnns senior International CorrespondentFrederick Pleitgen is following the newest developments live from cologne, germany. Fred . As far as the cell phone video is concerned michaela there are a lot of questions that are out there. The french prosecutor came out this morning with a statement saying so far, there has been no cell phone video thats been used in the investigation. He also said if anybody has any cell phone video from inside the cabin, that that person needs to come forward immediately so there is a lot of criticism also out there of the media reports. It certainly is something that is very much playing out here in the publics view. Lets have a look at what the two publications say the cell phone video contains. A chilling discovery purportedly pulled from the wreckage of Germanwings Flight 9525. Cell phone video shot from inside the cabin purportedly captures the chaos and horror of the final moments before the crash. French magazine paris match and german newspaper bild say theyve seen the video. Though a french official says the reports are quote completely wrong and unwarranted. The publications say from watching the video, its disturbingly clear the passengers knew what was about to happen. Its very shaky. Its its very chaotic. But there are some things that are very much in line with what we know about the investigation so far. According to bild and paris match as the plane descends descends screams can be heard with cries of my god in several languages. Metallic bangs can be heard three times, which they believe is the captain trying to break his way back into the cockpit with a heavy object. Towards the end, the heavy shake reports say as the cabin abruptly jerks, presumably as the planes right wing scrapes a mountain. The screams intensify, then silence. Lufthansa ceo visiting the crash site this morning to pay his respects. This just a day after the stunning revelation that lufthansa new Andreas Lubitz had a history of psychological problems before he deliberately crashed the jet. In 2009 lubitz told his Flight Training school he suffered from quote a previous episode of severe depression. If they withheld information intentionally, thats not good. Lufthansa said lubitz provided that information in medical documents, he submitted to resume Flight Training. After taking a break for several months he was cleared to fly shortly after. All the safety nets were so proud of here have not worked in this case. And guys this very morning the lufthansa ceo Carsten Spohr was close to the crash site and once again he did thank the french who were trying to work there on the crash site. He apologized that the crash would have happened there and said that all of the victims families would get lufthansas support. He was also asked about the new information that lubitz had told the company that he was suffering from depression previously. He did not answer that question from reporters. Chris . Fred thank you very much. And the quest to answer the question there. To a very different kind of question back here at home. What kind of america are we becoming . Both sides in indiana agree that is the question. And thats where the agreement ends. The latest governor mike pence who said he would not change the states controversial new religious freedom law. Now says he will consider efforts to clarify the law. So everyone understands it was never meant to allow discrimination against gays and lesbians. Despite the uproar there, arkansas approved a similar measure overnight so lets get to cnns rosa flores live in indianapolis with the latest. Rosa . Well good morning, governor pence telling reporters that this is all a perception issue, that can be changed. That can be fixed by changing the language of the actual law. Opponents not so sure. Saying that theyre asking for a repeal and fearing that the bad perception is already casting a shadow on the hoosier state. Was i expecting this kind of backlash . Heavens no. Today, indianas republican governor gets closer to a quote fix. For sb 101, the religious freedom reformation act. Opponents calling the law the latest attack to legalize discrimination against gays and lesbians. We must repeal this offensive rfra law. Governor mike pences Public Appeal comes as the nationwide uproar continues. Those against it speaking out in protest. And nike one of the Worlds LargestAthletic Apparel companies, joining the growing group of corporations condemning the states action. The white house blasting the governor on tuesday, saying pence tried to falsely suggest that indianas law simply mirrors a federal religious freedom law signed by president bill clinton in 1993. This is a much more openended piece of legislation. That could reasonably be used to try to justify discriminating against somebody because of who they love. Pence says though the bills intent is not discrimination he now wants a fix. Ive come to the conclusion it would be helpful to move legislation this week. That makes it clear that this law does not give businesses a right to deny services to anyone. But the governor still says he wont sign legislation that includes protections based on sexual orientation. Will it stand in court do you think . You know i dont want to start going into our legal analysis. Indianas attorney general says hell take what hes heard from protesters back to the capital. As lawmakers work on the fix. But wouldnt discuss any legal specifics. We shall overcome despite National Outcry arkansas just passed a similar bill and georgia is considering one as well. Republican governors in both states have said if the bill hits their desk theyll sign it. This bill is not about discrimination. This bill is about the First Amendment persons individual right to believe and your rights stop where someone elses rights start. Now speaker of the house telling cnn he is crafting the fix, talking to activist groups other stakeholders about the particular language. And hear this that the lang wamg could be finalized as early as today or tomorrow. Thanks for the update. Now to an update in iraq. Iraqi forces declaring victory in their battle against isis for control of tikrit. But even though iraqs Prime Minister says theyve retaken control, pockets of fighting remain as iraqi forces and shiite militias work to clear the battle zone tikrit had been under isis control since june. A new day in nigeria. A new president , Muhammadu Buhari defeating incumbent Goodluck Jonathan by about two million votes. After calling the president elect. Jonathan issued a statement thanking thigh jeerians s ianian ianian nigerians for the privilege of leading the country. Legend Joni Mitchell is in intensive care this morning at a california hospital. Paramedics were called to her home in l. A. And found her unconscious there. A message posted overnight on jonis website says shes awake, in good spirits and undergoing testing. The message asks fans to light a candle sing a song and send all good wishes her way. We wish her well. A canadian pressure very proud of her. The story of indiana governor mike pence continues, now hes saying he wants clarification clarification. I guess thats sort of a fix. But it certainly concerns this religious freedom law and hes not happy about the fallout. So what is this fix . Will it be enough or too little too late . Also a cnn exclusive to show you, our oneonone interview with yoga guru bikram choudri, responding to allegations of half a dozen women claiming that he sexually assaulted them. This word is that im a rapist . Shame in the culture, western culture. Stay tuned for that interview ahead on new day. Indianas governor now says that he is open to a clarification of his states religious freedom law. Clarify probably be a step short of fixing which he says he doesnt need to do. But the problem is clear people believe its opening the door to discriminating against the Lgbt Community. Did you know there are 82 similar measures up for consideration across the country . And several 2016 hopefuls saying they support the idea of indianas law, fixed or not, so lets bring in richard sakarekes, former strategist to the president and mr. Ben furgeson. Let me clarify one thing before we get into the points of debate of what needs to happen. Which is theres an assertion that this law is simply the federal law of 1993 that bill clinton signed moved into the state realm because the Supreme Court said the state needed to own this law. That is not necessarily true and heres why. Put up the graphic. Okay . Federal law on one side indiana on the other. Federal law was designed to protect rituals of religious minority specifically native americans using peyote. Which got caught up in a bundle of drugs that were outlawed and the native americans said its part of their religion and went to the Supreme Court and that got the law and this indiana law flips that. It protects religious actors unundered law the law, under federal law you must show a substantial burden to your religious exercise. Indiana, burden or likely burden which means you dont have to be harmed but you may be. Government must be a party. What does that mean . Its key. It was supposed to stop state action the government from infringing on your rights of religious exercise. Here it can be a private party. Thats a major concern. That means when someone doesnt like something, they can sue you about it and this extends protection to those suits. And the last one, antidiscrimination amendment was rejected. Which means that under the indiana law, that part of the graphic is wrong. Under the indiana law, the democrats in the General Assembly said we should add this provision that says this law cant be used to discriminate and it was rejected. That was never an issue under the federal law. Now what should happen next ben ferguson the governor says we want to clarify not fix. Semantics aside, whats the right thing to do . I think they need a fix. I think he realized this has become such a bad pr stigma for the state, even though other states have done virtually the same exact thing. And to clarify it is probably the right decision moving forward. Clarify it how . Well clarify by saying look if are you gay or lesbian and you walk into a business you cant be kicked out just because youre gay or lesbian. Here is the other issue, though. Does this infringe on the rights of a Business Owner to stand up for what they believe in . A great example of that would be this if you own a gay bar and someone comes in and says i want to rent your facility for a traditional marriage rally, should you have the right to say, that goes against my beliefs, im not going to rent my private business to you. The same way that if a kkk member comes in and says, i want a birthday cake made to celebrate the birth of the kkk, should a baker regardless of the
