0 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 doesn't address serious security issues and that the french used a buzzword thrown about that they're not going to accept a sucker's deal. so they're very, very strong about this. i spoke to one of the eu high representative spokesmen. and he said, yes, we're all on the same page. but it was obvious there are some differences within the security council. so they're all trying to sit down and hammer this deal out right now. but it doesn't look like we're going to get anything tonight. there's 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 hang-up? you alluded to security concerns. specifically what are the french most concerned with? >> reporter: well, one point the french brought up that hasn't really been brought up before is the heavy water reactor at iraq where it could turn -- it could produce plutonium-grade bombs. this hasn't been an issue before. and i think this caught the iranians slightly by surprise that they brought this issue up and they're trying to deal around that right now. that plant is probably a year away from being operational, so that's 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 haven't talked to us about. that's 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. netanyahu's been publicly skeptical. >> iran got the deal of the century and the international community got a bad deal. this is a very bad deal. >> he's emphatic. why is he so worried? >> there's 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 can't bomb it. if they did bomb this plant with the nuclear fuel in it, it would be an environmental disaster. that's why there's 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, we've 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 presidents 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 we've frozen over the last couple of years. that's sort of limiting this white house's options and the state department's options. john kerry doesn't 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 there's a major development, we'll 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, we're 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. what these two gop stars said last night. we'll go into the political playground. now for the main ev. in this corner, the reigning lasagna dish, the big cheese. and in this corner, the best generation of dawn power, platinum!
