Developing story this afternoon. Iran right now, six world nations plus iran are working on a diplomatic deal to freeze that countrys nuclear program. Where do those talks stand right now . Were live in geneva. Also ahead, big league bullies, the new conversation happening all over this country. What happens when adults bully . Plus, treating our wounded warriors. On this veterans day weekend, a look at new advances being made to help our injured veterans on the homefront. And the citypak project. More than half of americans dont have a place to live or places to keep their stuff. But thats changing in todays big idea. We start with the developing news out of the philippines where typhoon haiyan has killed at least 1,000 people so far. The countrys president says he expects that number to climb substantially. The red cross estimates more than 1,100 people have been killed in just one city alone. Angus king has the latest from man na. Reporter as every hour goes by, were getting a clearer picture of the damage caused by the super typhoon. Thats because rescue teams are now and only now able to get into some of the worst affected areas which have remained cut off. Roads are blocked. Power is down. And theres no phone coverage. Experienced aid workers are saying they havent seen anything like it since the december 2004 asian tsunami. And thats not a comparison you make lightly. A lot of people have managed to get away now. I spoke to survivors. They were rescued by the Philippine Air force earlier today. And they spoke of many people dead and also of most houses being swept away by a massive storm surge. The death toll has now gone up to over 1,000. Its risen very quickly today as more and more aid teams get in and discover what is a growing tragedy. The u. S. Military is standing by ready to give assistance. I spoke to a colonel in the u. S. Marines today. Hed been up with the air force, surveying the worstaffected areas. The government of the philippines has now accepted the u. N. Offer of international assistance. So now the picture is emerging of a much bigger humanitarian disaster than perhaps was first thought. And certainly the damage is far worse than many people feared. Back to you. Well ekeep our eye on what happening there. And dramatic developments from geneva at this hour as talks continue with iran over that countrys nuclear program. Secretary of state john kerry is in geneva for the negotiations but warned this morning that there are still many hurdles to overcome. I want to emphasize, there are still some very important issues on the table that are unresolved. It is important for those to be properly, thoroughly addressed. So will tehran curb its Nuclear Ambitions in exchange for a deal with the International Community . David rode and reed wilson join me. David, i want to start with you. Based on what youre reading and hearing, what might this deal look like . The broad outline is a freeze in nuclear activity. Theres disagreement about what that means. And then there would be some sanctions relief from the west and the u. S. To basically give them six more months to come up with a comprehensive deal. Thats the best case scenario. It would buy some time to come up with a grander deal . Yes. But the reports out of geneva are that the french are objecting to the agreement, that there will not be an agreement today. And theyll come back to try to work out this sixmonth deal. They dont even have that yet. Reed, what would a deal mean for this white house . This is clearly the largest Foreign Policy challenge of president obamas second term. The firstterm Foreign Policy revolved around ending wars in iraq and afghanistan. Now they have to get iran right in the broader context of not only the shifting dynamics within the middle east and especially in the wake of the arab spring when theres a lot of turmoil in an area thats always been pretty tumultuous. But also in the broader context of israel and the u. S. Allies in europe, especially the p5 plus 1 group in geneva. Ali is standing by in geneva. I want to bring you into the conversation. Youre on the ground talking to some of the folks involved in these negotiations. Whats happening there at this hour . Reporter right now, craig, theres a bunch of bilateral and trilateral meetings going on. The iranian form, zarif, has sat down with kerry and ashton, finished a bunch of meetings with them and then went into meetings with lavrov. But as was mentioned earlier, it looked like the parameters of some sort of deal were being worked out. But the french came in, dug their heels in saying it doesnt address serious Security Issues and that the french used a buzzword thrown about that theyre not going to accept a suckers deal. So theyre very, very strong about this. I spoke to one of the eu high representative spokesmen. And he said, yes, were all on the same page. But it was obvious there are some differences within the security council. So theyre all trying to sit down and hammer this deal out right now. But it doesnt look like were going to get anything tonight. Theres been talk of them coming back in seven to ten days time. The state department has told us today that there is going to be some sort of a Statement Issued tonight. So that might make things a little more clear. Ali, what is the biggest hangup . You alluded to security concerns. Specifically what are the french most concerned with . Reporter well, one point the french brought up that hasnt really been brought up before is the heavy water reactor at iraq where it could turn it could produce plutoniumgrade bombs. This hasnt been an issue before. And i think this caught the iranians slightly by surprise that they brought this issue up and theyre trying to deal around that right now. That plant is probably a year away from being operational, so thats why this caught the iranians by surprise. But the french have been very, very tough on this issue. They want this issue addressed and they want other curbs which they havent talked to us about. Thats made these meetings go late into the evening and today to try to resolve the issue. We know that president obama talked by phone with israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last night, reportedly assured him that this country remains committed to preventing iran from obtaining a Nuclear Weapon. Netanyahus been publicly skeptical. Iran got the deal of the century and the International Community got a bad deal. This is a very bad deal. Hes emphatic. Why is he so worried . Theres a fear that the iranians can sort of make a sprint and produce a Nuclear Weapon very quickly here. And the dispute about iraq, this is a plutonium reactor, is that once construction is finished and once the fuel rods are placed inside that plant, the israelis cant bomb it. If they did bomb this plant with the nuclear fuel in it, it would be an environmental disaster. Thats why theres a focus on this iraq plant and why this deal is being held up right now. Reid, there are a number of hawkish republicans in congress opposed to the idea of cutting any sort of deal with iran. Bob corker telling the daily beast in part, quote, weve crafted an amendment to freeze the administration in and make it so that they are unable to reduce the sanctions unless certain things occur. How hard is it going to be for secretary kerry and the president to get congress on board with lifting sanctions or easing sanctions . This is pretty interesting. This is one of the few areas of american Foreign Policy which is usually the domain of president s that congress has legislated into law. The sanctions are part of law. To release them, to release some of the money that the u. S. Has frozen or allowed iran to sell oil in the Global Market will require an act of congress. Congress is never going to do that. So what the administration is their only bargaining chip really is some of those assets that the u. S. Has frozen through the treasury department. They might be able to lift some of the freezes on i saw the number 10 of the 50 billion that weve frozen over the last couple of years. Thats sort of limiting this white houses options and the state departments options. John kerry doesnt have a lot of chips to play with because congress has taken them off the table. Big thanks to all of you. This is a story that continues to develop throughout the course of the afternoon. We have our eye on it. If theres a major development, well pass it along to you. Meanwhile, inside the locker room, as the investigation into the bullying of dolphins lineman Jonathan Martin as that investigation starts, were going to talk to a former coach about what really goes on behind these closed locker room doors and why bullying, why adult bullying is more common than you might think. Also, immigration on the links. A reporter goes under cover as a golf course worker. What he found out and why he says that sport cannot survive without immigrants. And republicans up late.

Topping our saturday headlines, a jury convicts a utah doctor of killing his wife six years ago. He faces 15 years to life in prison a march for justice in detroit outside the funeral for regina mcbride. She was trying to get help after getting into a car accident. Her family is demanding that Police Charge the homeowner. That homeowner insists the shooting was an accident. And samesex marriage is one step closer to becoming legal in hawaii. The hawaii house of representatives passed a bill legalizing samesex marriage last night. The senate is expected to take up that measure tuesday. A malicious physical attack, thats how the attorney for dolphins offensive tackle Jonathan Martin describes part of the bullying that he endured by a former teammate. That alleged bully . Richie incognito. Incognito was suspended from the team last sunday indefinitely. Martin is in california with his family and remains on the teams injury report. Is this simply the culture of the nfl or is it an example of a larger problem . Coach, i want to start with you. I want to start by talking about the nfl locker room culture because most people have never set foot in one. They never will. How much of a difference is there between what constitutes bullying in an nfl locker room and whats bullying in the real world . Well, theres a separation. But the bottom line right now is where we all have to understand this richie incognito, its distasteful what he did, with the texts and the phone calls. Theres no excuse for that. But that is not common. Its not a common thing. Okay. Now everything else, we have to relax a little bit till we get to the bottom of it. Were getting stories from everybody on everything. It wasnt that long ago, Duke Lacrosse Team was accused of raping a girl. The president came down hard, fired the coach, kicked the kids out of school, everything blew up. Then the girl says, no, they didnt rape me. So we have to have some understanding. Whats going on there is not normal. 20 years in the nfl, i never saw anything like that. I had a couple of incidences where we had to deal with things. It sounds as if you think incognito is going to be vindicated. No, no, not at all. Not at all. My deal is if im in the Dolphins Organization high up, i want to know who authorized the signing of him because hes had a problem from nebraska and oregon and all his nfl teams, all of them hes had a problem. Why are we thinking this guys history is going to change now . I also want to know, i dont believe for one minute, not one minute that the trainers, the equipment people, the players and the coaches didnt know what was going on and they turned their back. Somebody had to know. The locker room is maybe a unit for them but theres no secrets in there. Ben, being an outsider to a certain extent, what were your initial thoughts when you started reading and hearing about this case . Well, i thought my initial thought i thought incognito coach, coach, that was for ben. Im sorry. Thanks, craig. Yes. My thoughts were that this is no different from anything i see at any company or in any family. This type of bullying, this type of terror, this type of predator goes on everywhere, whether its a ceo, whether its a group of employees ganging up and going after another employee, whether its a company that creates a power volume and the nastiest, rottenest, most despicable people get in there and take it over. Its the same thing. Whether its a family, supposed to keep things quiet, and you have perpetrators like that doing horrible, rotten, Disgusting Things ben, how common how prevalent is adult bullying . Its all over and its everywhere. We have no good statistics. But if you ask anybody, they will tell you all the stories of their life. And the earliest oral epochs we have across the globe in all of culture, the earliest written stories we have have bullies, terrorists and predators. Its a human condition and it happens all the time. I see it everywhere. We in america do something very different about it, even though its a secret locker room. We are willing to open it up and face the shame of saying one of ours, an american, thought like that, spoke like that, did that sort of stuff because we know that the only way were ever going to do anything good about it, the only way were ever going to change anything is to expose it. Coach, former rutgers basketball coach mike rice, fired earlier this year for verbally and physically abusing his players. He talked about his firing. He also talked about the Lessons Learned last night on abcs 20 20. Take a listen. What i went through and everything that ive learned and the steps that ive taken and how people have helped me along the way, yeah, ive changed. Will i be a work in progress . Yeah, of course. Coach, what can we take from all of this . What can we learn, if anything, from whats happening with the Dolphins Organization and the conversations surrounding adult bullying in this country . His admission, its in the business world, like the doctor was saying, sometimes you lose control of yourself. And you have to back up and you have to understand. And sometimes the mistakes you make cost you your career. But its part of the human nature that has to be dealt with. And i think as a coach, youve got to be there. You have to be around. You have to know whats going on. As a coach in the nfl, to cut to the chase, youre dealing with a bunch of 20yearolds that are by nature very aggressive. They put their life on the line all the time. And you have to be there to monitor because somebody is going to get out of whack. And as a coach, you have to be more of a leader and a person that looks over it like a father does over his family. Ben, jim, big thanks to both of you. Coach, if i had more time, id ask you whats happening to your gmen. But that isnt this kind of broadcast. The olympic torch made quite a pitstop. Two russian astronauts took it on its firstever space walk. The torch arrived at the International Space station thursday. They did not light it for obvious reasons. But the astronauts did take turns posing with it. Back here on earth, houston may have a problem. A 200pound satellite is expected to crash into earth tomorrow night. They dont know exactly where. Scientists say its unlikely anyone will be hurt since most of the satellite will actually burn up during the reentry.
