lauer, as well. you ve been following this case since the beginning. do you see this happening? she s kind of tone deaf on that subject a little bit in my view. maybe on a lot of things. you know, it isn t the family, the british family, kercher family, very, very convinced that she is, you know, the killer of their child and you know, i think that any kind of answering any questions about the them or talking about them about meeting with them is completely you know a pr disaster for her. she should really just go to the caribbean and hideout the way sollecito is and stop doing television. nina about your league, you ll be doing television with us again no doubt. thanks so much. how much have sanctions hurt iran? will that country give up nuclear weapons to get them lifted? i talked to a former iranian insider next.
