New backlash from authors and independent booksellers. All of that, ahead on bloomberg west. World powers reached a landmark deal with iran. After years of negotiation their Nuclear Activities will be scaled back and cannot tilde build a nuclear weapon. In exchange, sanctions that would have crippled the economy in iran would have been lifted requiring them to get rid of 98 of their enriched uranium. Keeping them under international supervision. Capping the enrichment at 3. 67 , crucially allowing online monitoring by the International Atomic energy agency.

There is a new backlash from authors an independent booksellers, all of that ahead on bloomberg west. World powers reach a landmark deal with iran. Irans Nuclear Activities will be scaled back so they cannot build a nuclear weapon. In exchange, sanctions that have crippled the economy will be lifted. Iran will get rid of uranium remember remove two thirds of its centrifuges. They will allow online monitoring Iv International Atomic Energy agency. Here is leon liam, who specializes in the nature of security breaches. We also have jordan from washington dc. We also have edward. Thank you so much for joining us. Professor iran used to produce uranium at 93 , that was brought down to 20 , now 3. 67 how landmark is this deal . Professor this deal is adequate to ensure they will not build Nuclear Weapons in my opinion. Emily what does that mean . Professor what is that is what most of the reactors run on. Almost every other country has the normal enrichment for nuclear power. Emily you think
Is the incremental additional money that theyve got to try to destabilize the region or send to their proxies, is that more important than preventing iran from getting a Nuclear Weapon . No. So i think again, this is a matter of us making a determination of what is our priority. The other problem with the argument that folks have been making about, oh, this is a windfall and suddenly iran is flushed with cash, and theyre going to take over the world.

And that, i can promise you, is not true. That is absolutely not true. I want to repeat wer
My last question i want to ask you guys and youre going up to the hill later this afternoon to testify on a different topic, how do you see the lack of action in terms of congress on authorization of the use of force . Just the stasis and stalemate, whats your evaluation all of you, what does that mean in where the u. S. In these campaigns and campaigns coming up on the 15th your anniversary of the 9 11 next year. How do you sort of see the politics here at home. This may be over cynical but i think its a reflection of the fact that the body politic to include people on the hill ultimately do not regard isis as that serious a problem. Definitely a problem. Something worth effort but not something where theyre getting phone calls every day saying the United States needs to do something about this. I think we have seen over the last ten years for understandable reasons, a real sharp decline in public enthusiasm for American Intervention and thats reflected on the fact that people on the
Thanks clarke and the Aspen Institute have having me back. Lucky to have the Homeland Security jeh johnson. Not going through his bio. You have it in your pamphlet. The two things that struck me as the most interesting preparing for this. It is difficult to know where to start in an interview with the secretary. He has Legal Council at the pentagon was involved in the most important issues that the Obama Administration inherited from the Bush Administration and many of you know he was responsible for helping resend dont ask dont tell he was the last legal word on every drone strike outside of the main seeders of war at the pentagon, he was in charge of the fraught issue of figuring out how to shutdown guantanamo bay, and the list goes on and on. With that background, it does make you realize why you were the guy for dhs which is another institution with a lot of problems when you inherited it. I want to ask you given that background you went from the pentagon and offense on the war on
