Talks to keep iran from getting a
Nuclear Weapon
may finally reach their end. After years of jockeying, 15 days straight of negotiations, the next day appears to be make or break, hopes for a deal highest in iran this morning and our
Martha Raddatz
is live on the scene in tie ran. Good morning, martha. Good morning, george. This could be a country on the brink of change. A highranking iranian official telling us just a short time ago, shes quite optimistic that a deal will come in the next 24 hours. In vienna, where negotiators have been huddled for more than two weeks, secretary of state john kerry told reporters this morning, he had a positive meeting with the iranian negotiator, but there are still a few tough things to figure out, although the secretary says he remains hopeful. Major sticking points have been iran demanding an end to an arms embargo, including on
Ballistic Missiles
and how fast sanctions would be lifted. This, of course, is a nation that continues to back syrias dictator. Called for the destruction of israel and still has several americans imprisoned here. We have been here all week. Talking to the people of iran, listening, watching, what we found is a nation of contradiction, struggling to change. Iran is vibrant. Chaotic. And divided. From the chic tehran shopping malls, many years ago, you probably would have been arrested. Yeah. Reporter to the mass reporter to the mass marches we saw this week. With the faith shouting death to america and any nuclear deal along with it. Obama, very bad. John kerry. Reporter its a nation in a tug of war, its emboldened youth population battling against those clinging to the past. Its that divide that has made a nuclear deal so difficult here. The u. S. Support of the corrupt former shah led to the seizure of the u. S. Embassy in 1979. Since the holding of those 52 americans hostage for 444 days, a deep and bitter mistrust has continued. But in iran, the vitriol against the west and the israel goes well beyond just words. Over the years, despite efforts to stop them
Officials Say
irans ability to build a nuclear bomb has become a very real threat. Candidate barack obama thought there was a new way to convince the
Islamic Republic
to end its atomic quest. We need to talk to iran and syria. Reporter the
Campaign Promise
became reality in 2013 the first direct communication between the u. S. And iran since 1979. Years of punishing sanctions brought iran to the negotiating table and the chances for a permanent agreement down to the wire. We are not going to sit at the negotiating table forever. Reporter the u. S. Has staked much on these negotiations, but there is even greater pressure here in iran. While the hardliners have a powerful voice in this country, look again at these young people, at this young family, welcoming american visitors. 70 of iranians are under the age of 35, born after the revolution. What those who support a deal are hoping for, especially here, is not only an opening up of cultural relationships with the rest of the world but also economic gain. The sanctions prevent iran not only from doing business with the u. S. But from most of the industrialized world. The iranian stock market we visited expected to soar on announcement of a deal and eventual lifting of the sanctions. I believe the sanctions are not fair to people. Because its hurting the people. Not the government. Reporter you would like to see an agreement . Because people dont have any problems iran people and
American People
. Reporter and the sanctions have been difficult for everyone . Yeah. Its difficult for everybody. Reporter but not as difficult now as it could be if there is no deal. People here are expecting change and counting on it. This
New York Times
reporter has lived in iran for 13 years. If there is a deal, well see at first people dancing on the streets, it doesnt mean that they want to, you know, change their country and have starbucks and mcdonalds on every corner, but it does mean that they could move towards a future without sanctions. Reporter the talk and the tension in vienna, in the end, it will be up to this man, the supreme leader, if theres a approve it and hell have to be the man to bridge the gap so evident in iran today. And yet, addressing students yesterday, the ayatollah said be prepared for a struggle against arrogant power. A clear reference to the u. S. That may sound like hes against the deal. And even if theres a nuclear deal, no one expects our countries to become the best of friends and, as we said, many here are optimistic about a deal, including one of irans
Vice President
s who we spoke to earlier this morning. And you are smiling this morning, does that mean you are optimistic that there could be a deal any time . Yes, for sure. Im quite optimistic. Reporter earlier in the week, there was a clear setback and things got quite fiery it appeared, the american
Officials Say
it was because the iranian negotiators said that they wanted all sanctions off the table, includes those about an arms embargo. Iran deserves a role just like any other country in the world in terms of trade, particularly being able to defend itself. But the mentality of subjedication, one superior to the other. That has to change. Reporter if there is a deal what will that mean for iranian and
American Relations
. Its not necessarily were going to have cordial relationships, but it will signify an opportunity for both sides to
Work Together
to resolve some of the issues that we have in this part of the world. Reporter isis . Isis or
Drug Trafficking
or other issues. Reporter so, one week from today, when we look back on this week, what do you think well say . Well look at this moment, i think, as an important turning point in history, it is a gamechanger. And one note about the
Vice President
, back in 1979, she was the young spokeswoman for the students who held those americans hostage at our embassy. And back in washington, congress will have 60 days to review any deal that may be reached and for that, we throw it back to george. Thank you, martha. Exactly right. Bring us to a senior democratic on
Foreign Relations
committee, bob menendez. You just saw that optimism in iran. Does that optimism makes you hopeful or anxious . It makes me anxious. Because what the deal looks like is incredibly important. And the problem here george, is that we have gone from preventing iran having a nuclear ability to managing it. And what we are doing is basically rolling back sanctions for not rolling back
Irans Nuclear
infrastructure, but rolling back sanctions for verification. But according to administration putting it off for 10, 15 years. Can any other policy do better with that . I think we started off on the wrong premise. We did not test the premise, can you get some of that infrastructure to actually be removed . Because at the end of the day, thats where we started. We started off with the premise that iran could not keep its nuclear infrastructure. At least all of it. We still have a plutonium reactor. We were originally told by senator kerry that it was going either to be dismantle by them or destroyed by us. Youruranium enrichment, thats going to say. So the question is, even president obama said that, under this potential deal in 12, 13 years, theyll have a pathway to a nuclear bomb. If thats the best deal youre going to get, what type of verification, inspection regime, is it still going to be any time, any place for the
International Atomic
energy association, what kind of sanction relief are we giving . The end of the day, i hope that not withstanding a deal that the president makes it very clear statement to iran, that as it relates to the future, we cannot accept iran having a
Nuclear Weapon
, period. Thats the premise we started on. It sounds like youre not going to support it . Im going to judge it with all the elements. Obviously, i think we should have started in a different way. Ill judge the agreement based upon what it is. But we have to make very clear that theres a deterrence in the longer term. In 12, 13 years, well be back to where we started. Iran will have more money in its pocket and promoting its terrorism throughout the middle east. Senator menendez, thank you for your time. That brings us to our next guest
Carly Fiorina
. She broke through the
Glass Ceiling
at hewlett packard. After getting fired in a board room shakeup. She senate bid failed in 2010. Shes reaching higher than ever. Im
Carly Fiorina
and im running for president. The only woman in a sprawling gop field, touting her corporate experience. I understand how the economy actually works. Reporter her personal journey. Im a cancer survivor. Reporter and taking on hillary. Unlike her i actually accomplished something. Reporter thats earning her good reviews at
Early Campaign
stops. Can that energy boost her poll numbers and buy a ticket to those first debates . And
Carly Fiorina
joins us live from manchester,
New Hampshire
, good morning. Thank you for joining us. I want to start right there with the
Iranian Nuclear
talks. You said you would have walked away from the talks a long time ago. If you were president , what would you be doing with iran . Well, i would have walked away, because if you cant walk away from the negotiating table, the other side just keeps negotiating and thats precisely what happened. We have caved on every major goal that president obama sent, as senator menendez pointed out. Sao, i would walk away and i would tell the iranians, until and unless they are prepared to open every nuclear facility, for full inspections well make it as difficult as possible for them to move money around the system. And beyond that, of course, we should have recognized from the outset that china and russia have not been negotiating on our side of the table. It is in those two countries interests that irans economy is open. They have been negotiating on irans side of the table. Lets talk about the economy right now. Jeb bush, has set a goal of 4
Economic Growth
. He caused stir with this statement. Forced partition passion has to rise from its alltime low. People need to work longer hours and through their productivity gain more income for their families. That drew a lot of criticism from many fronts, including from the campaign of ted cruz. It would seem to me that governor bush would want to avoid the kind of comments that led voters to believe that governor romney was out of touch with the economic struggles that americans are facing. What did you think of that comment frernor bush and do you agree with his goal of 4 growth . Well, i think 4 growth is a good goal, and i think the fact that we have become used to an economy that sort of puttputts between 1 and 2 is tranelic. I think we need to understand what the true engine of
Economic Growth
and job creation is in this c it has always been small businesses, new businesses, familyowned businesses, communitybased businesses. That create twothirds of the job. And employ half the people. We are now crushing those businesses. In fact, were destroying more businesses in the
United States
now that are being created for the first time in our history. Meanwhile, crony capitalism is alive and well. Because with a very large, complicated government which we have, only the big, the powerful, the wealthy and the wellconnected can survive. Americans who have jobs are working longer and longer those who are working part time want to work full time. Were tangling peoples lives up in webs of dependence. Yes, we need to grow this economy, but that begins by understanding where growth and job creation come from, thats the small, the new, the familyowned businesses. The communitybased businesses. Those are being crushed by the weight and the power of this federal government. Big economic speech coming tomorrow from
Hillary Clinton
. Shes going to address the defining challenge of our time, the wage gap, the fact americans are working harder than ever before and their wages arent going up. Do you agree with the way that shes defined the problem . Well, i think income inequality is a huge problem. Lets look to the state of california where i lived for 12 years. Liberal policies have been in place for decades and yet 111 billionaires, good for them the highest nation, the destruction of industry after industry, now theyre destroying agricultural in california. The truth is
Hillary Clintons
ideas create more income inequality. Why . Because bigger government creates crony capitalism. When have a 70,000page tax code you got to be very wealthy, very powerful, very well connected to dig your way through that tax code. So, she may decry income inequality. I will continue to point out is that every policy shes pursuing will make income inequality even worse. And meanwhile, well continue to crush the businesses that create jobs and middle class families. Donald trump drawing a huge crowd in phoenix, arizona, last night. I know you have already critiqued his campaign so far, saying hes trying to get a whole bunch of attention, but is the
Republican Party
at the risk of the sideshow now becoming the main event and will you support donald trump if indeed the long shot comes through, hes the nominee . Its interesting. I have been in
New Hampshire
now for six days and i havent been asked a single question about donald trump, on the other hand, i think, donald trump taps into an anger that i hear every day, people are angry that a common sense thing like securing the border or ending sanctuary cities is somehow considered extreme, its not extreme, its commonsense. We need to secure the border. Both parties talk a good game, give good speeches but somehow nothing ever really changes. Carly fiorina, thank you very much for joining us this morning. Coming up, a whole new look at

Atticus finch, the alabama lawyer whose brave stands for justice and against racism in to kill a mockingbird, stirred the conscience of a nation. Now, gentlemen, in this country, our courts are the great levellers and our courts all men are created equal. An iconic american character, harper lees brandnew book go set a watchman paints a darker portrait of
Atticus Finch<\/a>, a racist. Angry about integration. It will pack a cultural punch when it goes on sale on tuesday. Mary murphy, welcome. Some people are already saying, when they heard about this theyre not going to read the book, they dont want to ruin their view of
Atticus Finch<\/a>, how big a jolt was it for you to read these pages and see the racist revealed . Reading the book
Atticus Finch<\/a> in the book go set a watchman, says a lot of racist things, that was the norm for alabama in that time. This is a state after all that would rather close
Public Schools<\/a> than allow them to be integrated. And what
Atticus Finch<\/a> says is not unlike what a lot of white southerners were saying, it was a rare thing to find a liberated southern white man. So, the character in this novel is in keeping and in tempo with the political history of alabama. And not unlike her description of her father at the time, this book was written in 1957, i got to read most of it last night, and it was i couldnt put it down it was kind of shocking, you almost felt the shock that harper lee must have felt when she went home from new york and went back to her small hometown. Well, i think that i mean that is scout is really the hero of this novel and you you hear this story from southerners again and its a painful story its a painful story of coming home to where you came from and finding that youre completely at odds with the beliefs of your family, of the people that you love, of the place that you love, and this is a story that harper lee tells, i mean, her father was a legislator. It would have been shocking for him if he got elected if he was a completely liberated southern man. You last saw harper lee on june 30th. Do you think shes aware of what a shock this will be to people this will be and are you confident she wanted this book published . I dont know how much she reads the paper, i dont know if shes following the coverage, i saw her last thursday. I came with a crew and microphones and i was given permission to record an event in monroeville, alabama, when she received her first copy of go set a watchman. She expressed happiness about it being published. All her statements indicate happiness about it being published. And i think i will leave it there. Everythings that come from her and from her lawyer and from her friends that are close to her, they all say she was delighted that this manuscript was found and that its being published again. I have to say to me it enriched the experience of to kill a mockingbird. Did you get to the end . Scout gets a little drunk. I have 50 pages to go. Mary murphy, thanks very much.

In this weeks closer look, the growing threat of cyber war, the american in coming security chief sounded the alarm this week after computer glitches at three
Major American Companies<\/a> on the same day. We also learned that the massive hack on the u. S. Government compromised more than 20
Million People<\/a>. Abcs
Pierre Thomas<\/a> reports on how the u. S. Is fighting back. Reporter a cyber attack of epic proportions, with
Extraordinary National<\/a> security implications. 22 million federal workers, contractors and their associates exposed. The u. S. Office of
Personnel Management<\/a> hit by hackers. Targeting databases, storing critical information from government background checks. Among the victims, the fbi director himself. Im sure the adversary has every place i have ever lived since i was 18 every foreign travel i have ever taken. All of my family, their addresses. Reporter the primary suspect according to u. S. Officials, the chinese government. Only the imagination limits what a foreign adversary can do with detailed information about a federal employees education,
Career Health<\/a> family friends, neighbors, and personal habits. Reporter the opm director resigned friday amid the fallout. As the nation comes to grip with a new era, where federal agencies are under sieged. They are juicy targets. So we worry night and day. Reporter we were there just days before the first opm breach was detected. She says the cyber center helped the opm identify the hack and then used a sophisticated new
Monitoring System<\/a> that revealed it was wider and deeper than first thought. The board youre looking at is a system that we call einstein. Reporter einstein . Einstein. Were able to show and understand how much traffic comes in and out. Reporter while einstein may be improving cyber security, critics say the u. S. Governments defenses are woefully inadequate. It doesnt work. Reporter the nominee to head the joint chiefs of staff says the military will respond. My role will be to provide the president a full range of options to deal with these cyber attacks. Reporter for this week,
Pierre Thomas<\/a>, abc news, washington. Thanks, pierre, for that. Lets get more on this from cyber terrorism expert
Richard Clarke<\/a>. We heard how worried the fbi director was. Try to give a chance how serious this breach was. And what can be done with this information . Well, its very serious. Because the form that i had to fill out went for about 100 pages. Everything about my background. They have that for 21 million americans. Date of birth,
Social Security<\/a> number, foreign contacts, foreign trips, any problems you have ever had medically, any addiction problems you have ever had. They can use this information to blackmail people and steal identities. George, i dont blame the chinese. This is what intelligence agencies do. This is what the we the
United States<\/a> do. We steal this sort of information. I blame the
Obama Administration<\/a> for taking this issue not seriously enough. This is almost criminal negligence. Criminal negligence those are strong words, richard. We just saw them say all options are on the table. If theres been criminal negligence whats the important thing that needs to be done right now thats not being done . We need to take the job of cybersecurity away from 50, 60 small
Government Agencies<\/a> like opm who clearly cant handle it and create one authority in the federal government that has the mandate and the money to secure cyber space. Also, you said this week, we saw these glitches all hit the same day, new york stock exchange, united airlines, wall street journal webpage, every official who came out, no, this is not an attack of but you sounded a note of skepticism. And to find out that it actually takes week of forensic activity to go through the log files and do the good, detailed forensics. We know two things, coincidences do happen in the world, a lot. But we also know that in cyber war, people do trial runs. They try to make them look like normal computer failure. Either way, it proves the networks we rely on as a country are very fragile, and if this happens without anybody doing malicious activity, think of what could happen if someone did do malicious activity. Scary stuff,
Richard Clarke<\/a>, thank you very much. Well be back with more from
Martha Raddatz<\/a> in tehran. And the roundtable. Analyzes the week in president ial politics. Hillarys first interview. Bushs big hull and donald trump. Announcer catch this week online all week at abcnews. Com on facebook and twitter. Who would you rather have negotiating a trade deal with anybody . Trump or hillary . So, who would you rather have negotiating a really good deal with mexico, china, japan trump or jeb bush . Housand people in phoenix last night for donald trump, lets talk about it now on our roundtable joined by cokie roberts,
Greta Van Susteren<\/a> from fox news, democratic strategist van jones ankristenen soltis anderson. Welcome to all of you. Cokie, we got to start with donald trump. But hes sucking up a lot of oxygen here in the media space and its got some republicans, you know, antsy. Its got republicans very antsy, because hes not only taking the attention from candidates that they think are better candidates, but hes once again, riling up hispanic voters. Republicans have been trying desperately to woo those voters. Isnt that an opportunity, greta, he says all these things so they can push off him . He put a stink bomb in the
Republican Party<\/a>. So, yes, hes forcing them to talk about it. Its getting off other topics. The question is,
Kristen Soltis<\/a> anderson, what kind of staying power does trump have . You see these polls. He hes rising up in the polls. Hes the candidate that more voters say they would never vote for under any circumstances. Its a little bit selffulfilling prophecy at this point. He gets 90 of the coverage of the republican primary, lot of folks, theyll get these calls from pollsters. Theyll read through 17 names, who are you going to vote for, trump is the last name they heard on the news. These polls are about name i. D. Once the debates begin trump will go back to being a sideshow rather than the main show. I dont think hes going to give up, though. Thats the question. He may stick it out to the end. Hes going to be in the debates and hes going to be saying this stuff with republicans next to them, theyll have to say they agree or disagree. I want to be very clear, its fine for americans to disagree about immigration policy. But hes gone beyond that. Hes now talking about the mexican people themselves. Hes saying that mexican people who are coming here are rapists and murderers, 14
Million People<\/a> hes smearing and maligning. Thats wrong. We have to say clearly that kind of stereotyping of 14
Million People<\/a> is not acceptable in american politics. Also this week, we saw the first
Major Television<\/a> interview in the campaign for
Hillary Clinton<\/a>. Gave it to cnn. Heres a little bit of it. I have never had a subpoena. Again, lets take a deep breath here, everything i did was permitted by law and regulation, i had one device, when i mailed anybody in the governmen would go into the government system. You had that. Didnt get the best reviews over the course of that interview. No and thats where she really has a problem, not so much the emails, but thats hard for voters to care about. But shes not on her game in these interviews, shes just not there yet. She did say one thing that well be hearing a lot about, she said, what voters care about, who will be there when they need you. I think thats going to be her theme. That somewhat plays into the grandmother theme. Your grandmother is there when you need her. Thats the way of dealing with this age issue. Thats going to be a real issue. See, i dont think it made a bit of difference that interview. Shes unique in politics. People who love her will still love her. People who hate her will still hate her. I think all of this did is sort of call off the dogs, because the
National Media<\/a> was insisting on an interview. I dont think it made a bit of difference. Well, i think she was kind of pushed into it. She had that horrible moment, where they got pictures of having ropes pulling reporters away from her. That looked terrible. She had to do something. But, the moving rope, i think she had to do something, she did something. She checks the box. Had she been doing a bunch of interviews we would be saying, shes overexposed. No matter what she does, shes
Hillary Clinton<\/a>. Shes going to be controversial. Everything i did was legal. Thats probably not the headline that you really want out there, in
Hillary Clinton<\/a>, i think for some democrats theres a little bit of nervousness, you have seen these big crowds showing up for
Bernie Sanders<\/a>. By the way, sanders is winning about a quarter of the
Democratic Party<\/a>. Is he undercutting this idea of democrats look at some of the things he says. Hes a socialist. I dont think hes being taken seriously. Whereas trump is tapping into something that bothers a large portion of the population. So, theres a difference. But sanders is tapping into something, too, hes tapping into the sense that the big guys get everything and the little guys ignored. Theyre all saying that. Theyre both tapping into different strands of populism. Exactly. I cant get off the things that hes written and admittedly in the early 70s he wrote about some study for the cure of cancer thats about the staying power, right now hes less likely to stay in than trump is. Money. One thing that will keep im actually not sure about that, either, but i want to move on, one thing thats going to keep jeb bush in is money. We learned this week that he raised 114 million. But, van jones, you saw democrats take off on this need to work longer hours comment. He later clarified saying it was for parttime workers. Well hear more from that. Absolutely. This is very dangerous territory for jeb bush. Look, i trust that hes being taken out of context to a certain extent. The reality is, when you have someone like him saying, you need to work harder. That sounds horrible. Thats not what he said. He said longer hours. Thats a different thing. Let me get back to that. I think the most important thing that we have to take seriously here is that
American People<\/a> are working long hours, the wages havent kept one those longer hours. Testimonies are going to be it heing hard on this part of wanl stagnation. Republicans are vulnerable because theyre against the minimum wage hike. Those things dont sound good at this moment. What he says and what the reporters who were there say was that he was talking about one of the reasons wages are low because people arent working long enough hours to be able to get it. Right. Not running on cylinders is the problem. I think what hes trying to say that if were running on seven out of eight cylinders, thats not the kind of
Economic Growth<\/a> we need. And the dangers of media, you dare to speak to them and theyll sound bite it to death. Theyll cut it. Dont you think hes doing a good thing of going out there every day and talking. And talking. Get the facts right. Because actually in voluntary parttime work has actually gone down because of obamacare, because of obamacare, we have fewer people involuntary working. I just want to say, theres this idea that the republicans have been beating up on, obamacare is a disaster, thats actually the the numbers are different than what republicans are saying. Before we go i want to get to
Something Else<\/a>, a milestone in
Race Relations<\/a> this week, that
Confederate Flag<\/a> in
South Carolina<\/a> came down from the statehouse. At the same time, you just heard my segment on this new harper lee novel, cokie roberts, you have lived through this. Thats right. What do you think people are going to take away from it all . I think the book seeing that flag come down is quite a moment. Im such a geek i watched the whole debate in the
South Carolina<\/a> house. It was really something. The emotions on both sides were really quite high. I had ancestors who fought in the confederate army. I know this life very well. But it was it was a moment that the country really needed to have happen. To have that flag come down. But the book is another story, because the book is truth, i mean, i think this her real book, an editor, whomever said, you know, america dont want to read this book right now, its too raw. I lived that, too. I would go home from high school in louisiana, and see members of my family, not my parents who were great civil rights activists, but the others, you know, saying things that were just shocking to me. And its very, very hard. I just want to something about the flag coming down, im a southerner, my whole family is from the south. I remember my father, very strong guy, we would drive around, when we would see that
Confederate Flag<\/a> on the back of the truck he would get tense. I know the power of that symbol to intimidate people. When that flag came down, lot of tears came down. I was very proud of governor haley. Good for the flag coming down. Now for the book is that, i hate to see heroes destroyed. Its a fictional hero in to kill a mockingbird. But nonetheless, its a hero destroyed. However, i think the new book, you know, puts a topic on the table that we forever be discussing. We need to be discussing it in good faith, with good heart and good mind. Having read it, i dont think it destroys
Atticus Finch<\/a>, i think it deepens him. Heroes are complicated. And this is a fictional one, too. As somebody currently in process of reading to kill a mockingbird. Im in the middle of reading it. I was surprised to see this sort of reaction on social media. My reaction, this would be like if harry potter, a different book, where hermines is hanging out with the death eaters. This is more representative of the time. Absolutely. The movie was even more part of our culture than the book. Thats right. And in the movie, gregory peck is fabulous, first of all, but secondly, he is atticus fih as a nocomplicated hero. Thats the last word and were back now with jimmy carter, its hard to keep up with the former president as he travels the world for the
Carter Center<\/a>. At the age of 90 hes just published his 20th book. I love the title of your book a full life. Its been a full life. With
Confederate Flag<\/a>s falling in
South Carolina<\/a> across the south, carter reflects on americas vex history with race and growing up with blacks in segregated south. The race issue has been a major factor in my life all of the way through. You had that declaration right after you were elected governor. Thats right. I say to you quite frankly that the time for
Racial Discrimination<\/a> is over. And you look back to 1971 and think, on the one hand we have come so far, we have elected an africanamerican president , but these problems we kind of took it for granted that we eliminated the concept in america that whites were superior in some way to black people. I think we let our guard down. Are you surprised that the election of president obama didnt lead to more progress on this issue . I think in a strange and unpleasant way, this kind of resurrected some animosity among people who thought that whites should be superior. No president has lived and served out of office longer than carter. His work with the
Carter Center<\/a> has redefined what is now an institution postpresidency. While he may be retired from politics, he keeps a close watch. How do you feel about hillarys chances now. I think shell get the democratic nomination. Despite this
Bernie Sanders<\/a> surge . He seems to be doing really well in iowa and
New Hampshire<\/a>. No problem with
Hillary Clinton<\/a> getting the nomination, because money dominates and she has an inside track to massive amounts that are going to pour into the
Democratic Party<\/a> side. The presidency just four years out of 90. Still the most intense, sered by the iranian hostage that dominated carters last year and doomed his bid for reelection. It was the worst year of my life. Having the hostages held by iran. Most of my advisers wanted me to take military action against iran. I felt then and still feel that if we had attacked iran they would have responded by killing our hostages. Although you did tell them if they harm one hostage if they injured a hostage, we would close all access to iran to the outside world. I meant what i said. You said you dont know for sure why the ayatollah held the hostages. I dont know. What does your gut tell you . I dont want to comment on that. I dont really know. Five minutes after carter left office the hostages finally released. I would say that was probably the most happy moment of my life. Of your life . It was. How much do you think of what might have been looking back on it i wouldnt have changed it. Carter center has opened up a new opportunity for us to serve in 80 countries in the world. You have recently said, you and your wife are prepared religious and psychological way for what comes next, how do you get there . Im not eager to get there. Ill be 91 in october. My travel capability and physical ability is going to die down. The
Carter Center<\/a> is going to be turned over to other people. Ill have more time with rosalyn at home and my wood shop making furniture and painting pictures and looking at birds. And so, well have a nice time in our little hometown. Make a full life even more full. Its been the best part of my life since i left the white house. I really have been both gratified, honored and pleased. Excited to be president of a great country. Such a pleasure to talk to president carter. Well be right back with more from
Martha Raddatz<\/a> in tehran. And for our sunday spotlight, back to
Martha Raddatz<\/a> whos reporting this week from what looks to be a new iran. The change of iran in the few short years is striking. When i first start coming here years ago, taping any scene on the street and talking to people about their views was nearly impossible, not anymore. Yes, we needed a permit but once we got one, the city opened to all kinds of surprises. We have been freed to roam the markets, the restaurants, the streets. What kind of music do you listen to . Pop music. I love music, pop music. Reporter to talk to just about anyone about anything. Iphone, apple. Reporter let me see your phone. What do you have . Instagram. Facebook. Reporter what is the one thing you wish you would change here . Let us do whatever we want. I have problem with the scarves. And i have problem with going out, i cannot go out easily. Reporter but if progress is measured about the amount of hair revealed and the color its become, we noticed a lot of progress on the streets of tehran. And there is
Something Else<\/a> we saw again and again. Bandages across the noses of many young women, an observation which led us here. My nose is down but reporter did it hurt . No. Reporter its hard to believe but conservative iran is the nose job capital of the world. Here, having a newly sculpted nose is a status symbol. It looks like noses that some of them choose look very western. The iranian nose, a little is a big nose, not like the european nose and therefore, the iranian girls like to have a surgery on her nose to get it to beauty. Reporter across town, in a much smaller office, its not nose jobs these young iranians are seeking but steve jobs. Describe where you think iran is in the tech world. The biggest untouched market in the world. Reporter he has big dreams, cofounding a startup that sells audio books online. Steve jobs. Reporter what do people think about steve jobs . Come on, you put a poster up of steve jobs its the best market. Reporter especially when youre not paying for the book licenses. So, youre making money . Yeah. Reporter a lot of money . Yeah. Reporter and he and his partners are hoping to make more if the sanctions are lifted. But, no one expects this country to change dramatically overnight, or expects these cultural protests to change the serious issues that have left many people here frustrated and afraid. But for the young people we met, its a start. Yes, it is a start. And that is it from tehran this sunday. While we wait for those historic negotiations, george, to end. Travel safely, martha, thanks for all that. A big welcome to our newest viewer anna brooke heath. Congratulations to them and big brother sean. Thanks for sharing part of your sunday with us.
