Iran are freed and a years long nightmare is over. Right now, the group son its way back home after the u. S. Made a rare deal with iran. Were going to have more on the terms of that deal just ahead. And House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy has a question for hard liners opposing his spending bill. Have they read it . A Government Shutdown isnt just on the line here. So is mccarthys speakership. Were following the latest from capitol hill. And who hasnt lost their wallet, their keys, their phone . But an f35 jet . The military needs your jet finding this multimillion dollar stealth fighter. Were following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central. Today, Five Americans are free after they were wrongfully detained in iran, some for years. There you can see the relief, as they got off that plane in doha, qatar, just a few hours ago. Thats where they are calling Family Members, undergoing medical checks as well. Soon theyre going to depart for the u. S. , for washington. A short time ago we heard from an emotional Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken. It was, for them, for me, an emotional conversation. Its easy in the work that we do every day sometimes to get lost in the abstractions of Foreign Policy and relations with other countries and forgetting the Human Element thats at the heart of everything we do. Three dual u. S. Iranian citizens who were imprisoned for more than five years each were released as well as two americans who have not been publicly identified. The u. S. Released five iranian nationals, also made billions of dollars in iranian funds available, but solely for humanitarian purposes. Cnn National Security reporter Natasha Bertrand is here. Natasha, how did this negotiation come together . It came together over the last two to three years and started to Kcrystallize Over Th last six months, when the americans started to negotiate with the Iranians In Qatar with qataris serves as intermediaries. Finally we saw last month the Real Movement began on this prisoner release with iran releasing four out of the five of those american prisoners to house arrest. And of course we saw Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken then issue a waiver allowing those 6 billion worth of iranian funds to be released to a bank in qatar, which will be dispersed to iranians for humanitarian goods. All of this really was the product of really intensive diplomacy that involved several u. S. Allies, including the qataris, the swiss. Secretary of state Antony Blinken thanking all of them today in his comments at the state department. And he said, look, we, the Biden Administration, have been able to free over 30 americans at this point, and we are not going to stop now. Heres what he said. To date, under this administration, we have now brought 30 americans home from places around the world where they were being unjustly detained. That work will continue. At the same time, were going to be working every single day to take steps to make this practice more and more difficult and more and more of a burden on those countries that engage in it. Its a sad fact that were seeing more of whats known as Hostage Diplomacy to some degree, not just from iran, russia, china, ongoing negotiations with a number of them. Thanks so much. Lets dig deeper with Global Affairs analyst and manager editor of the military times, kimberly dozier. The Biden Administration is pairing this release with sanctions, so its hard to say this is a warming of relations. How do you put this move in the context of the broader relationship . Well, in terms of iran and the Biden Administration, this was very transactional. Iran gets access to 6 billion that it desperately needs. Its in dire economic straits. And the Biden Administration gets another win, gets the dual irani american citizens out. And its out in front of the u. N. General assembly. In terms of putting the sanctions in place, that is a signal as much domestically to the republicans, to those independents who might vote for a Biden Administration ticket next year that, look, we are not going easy on iran, even though Administration Officials acknowledge privately up on capitol hill, yes, we understand that if they get 6 billion of their own money back to spend on humanitarian stuff, they can then use money thats inside iran for nefarious purposes. Lets talk about those finances. 6 billion. Its being held in qatar. This is iranian oil money that was essentially frozen, right . How does the United States ensure that its used for humanitarian aid and not something nefarious . Well, Administration Officials told a bunch of us reporters in a briefing that they are going to be keeping a watch on how this money is spent. But just like any sanctions enforcement, iran has been at this game for a long time. When sanctions are initially imposed, they hurt. But, like water finding its way, markets find a way to circumvent these locks. So, irans sanctions evading regime or schemes have gotten more sophisticated over time. Thats why you see them doing business more with russia, possible with china, with north korea. Theres a nexus happening of a larger evergrowing black market that means, you know, yes sanctions hurt for a time until they dont. So, we have just learned that President Biden has actually reached out to the families of those detainees who have been freed, and hes spoken with all of them. Freeing imprisoned american overseas, whether in iran aura wanda or russia seems to be a priority for this administration. Its still being attacked by critics, people like Lindsey Graham has said that this emboldens states like russia to capture more americans or mike pence who argued that the price of prisoners overseas, americans detained overseas, has gone up. What do you make of that criticism . Is there validity there . I have to say, theres partisan criticism. Whichever president makes the deal to release americans held overseas, you can find someone in the opposing party who picks it apart. But the fact of the matter is, these people were being held for a long time. Some of them in dire health conditions. It is a win for the Biden Administration. And for their side of the voting electorate, theyre paying attention and theyre glad to see these americans home. So, you mentioned President Biden headed to unga, the United NationsGeneral Assembly later this week. Could this potentially set the table for a revisiting of the Iran Nuclear Deal . If though the Administration Says the tour is separate, it seemed to have had a transactional deal. What the u. S. And europe have done, the u. S. Stepped up sanctions. Uk, germany, and france have all signalled that theyre going to keep sanctions in place. Even though some of them are expiring if those three keep them in place, that means eu sanctions have to stay in place. So, they have put the screws on iran writ large. So, iran, according to a u. N. Report, stopped enriching its Nuclear Weapon material as high as it had or at the rate it had before. This news was released just a few weeks ago. So, maybe iran is trying to signal that we see youre keeping the pressure on and we want to talk. And we should point out, we are just getting this into cnn that all of the Detained Prisoners have left doha on their way to the United States. The washington, d. C. Area, where theyre going to be reunited with their families. Well of course keep you updated with the latest as we get it. Kim dozier, thanks so much for the expertise. To capitol hill now, the House Speakers fight to avoid a Government Shutdown appears to be getting shut down by members of his own party. The deadline for a deal is less than two weeks away now. We have cnns lauren fox following this for us. Lauren, we have a tentative agreement, but realistically, does this deal have legs . Reporter yeah, brianna, that is quickly as this deal came together between two factions of the republican conference, it fell apart last night. That is after there was an hourlong, conferencewide phone call, where multiple House Republicans pushed back against the contours of this deal, arguing it didnt go far enough, some of them wanting more votes on individual spending bills. But the bottom line here is that Kevin Mccarthy and gop leaders have a problem. They had hoped to vote on this proposal by the end of the week. Usually they would hope to vote on this by thursday. But what happens now is anyones guess. That is because they are probably going to have to go back to the Drawing Board to win back some votes because right now they have more than a dozen conservatives saying that they will either vote against this plan or they are leaning this is only a shortterm spending fix that republicans would support. Its important to remind people back home that this is just one part of the government, and this is not doing anything really to avert a Government Shutdown because the House Republicans are going to try and push through a plan that would never pass muster in the democraticcontrolled senate. Therefore, even if they can find a way to wrangle their members, which right now it looks like they are not able to do, it would never pass the u. S. Senate and it wouldnt be passed or signed by the white house. So, brianna, a lot of moving pieces here. And its important to keep in context that Kevin Mccarthy says he still thinks that he can get there. Heres what he said about his members. Have they read it . One thing i always note is sometimes they havent read all the way through it. Lets let them understand what it is and see where they are. Reporter and lawmakers are going to be back in washington for notes tonight. That will give us a sense of whether or not they have read the bill. So many members coming out opposed to the plan, brianna. You can see leadership has an uphill climb ahead of them. They sure do. Lauren fox live for us from the hill. Thank you. Jim . Just days after hunter biden was indicted on three felony gun charges, biden is suing the Internal Revenue service. His lawsuit alleges the irs agents targeted and sought to embarrass him by releasing confidential tax information. The filing is centered around two agents who went public, claiming that the Justice Department mishandled the biden case. Lets go to cnns kara scannell. This is part of a broader, more aggressive pushback from biden and his lawyers against a whole host of charges. Tell us what this lawsuit claims beyond this. Reporter yeah, jim, thats right. This is part of a more aggressive legal strategy by the biden team. What theyre alleging in this lawsuit is that those two irs agents turned whistleblower, gary shapley and joe feoff ziegler, went beyond what is normally allowed for whistleblowers. Theyre alleging in multiple television interviews, including some on cnn, they said things that went beyond what is protected, specifically getting into the details of what was on Hunter Bidens tax returns. Here is gary shapley during a cbs interview in july excuse me, in june that Hunter Bidens lawyers have focused on in this lawsuit. Take a listen. There were personal expenses that were taken as business expenses, prostitutes, sex club memberships, hotel rooms for purported drug dealers. Reporter those are some of the details they say went beyond what is permissible, including saying hunter biden had more than 2 million in unpaid taxes and along with broader allegations about how agents allege they were impeded from taking certain steps as part of their investigation. I have a statement from gary shap lees attorney in which he says, this suit against the irs is just another frivolous smear by biden family attorneys trying to turn peoples attention away from Hunter Bidens own legal problems and intimidate any current and future whistleblowers. He maintains they did not go beyond what was permissible. We also have a statement from the attorney for joseph ziegler, the other irs agent. He says the efforts by the biden Family Lawyers to silence mr. Ziegler and other irs employees will not succeed. The irs told us they do not comment on pending litigation, jim. Kara scannell, thats so much. Boris . Back at the bargaining table. Talks restarting in the Auto Workers Strike, and one of the demands is getting serious attention, the fourday work week.

Right now nearly 13,000 uaw members are walking the picket lines, as Union Leaders are expecting to talk with negotiators for stellantis tonight, the conglomerate behind the chrysler and dodge brands. Ford is feeling more pressure to the north. Its Union Workers in canada may go on strike tonight. Lets take you live to to lyda, ohio, where gabe is live with the picketers. Bring us up to date on the negotiations. Has there been any movement . Reporter boris, really not much. We saw this small sign of progress on saturday, when the union told us that they had had reasonably productive conversations with ford, just one of the big three auto makers. Reasonably productive, certainly no deal. It was a step in the right direction. But, again, we have seen a big divide between the sides. We know that today the union was set to meet with officials from stellantis. Thats the factory were outside of, this stellantis jeep factory in toledo. Until a deal is reached, were going to continue to see these picket lines 24 7 outside factories like the one here in toledo. There are nearly 6,000 workers here in this part of ohio, who are on strike, 13,000 as you said across the country. Theyre making about 500 a week in strike pay because theyre not making a sallary. Thats pay bid the union. There are different issues being fought for right now. We talked about the divide in salary and expectation, that the union wants a 40 raise. The big three have only offered around 20 kt approximate. One of the issues at stellantis at this factory is the idea that workers working on the same line could make drastically different amounts of money. Erica, if i can grab you guys fair second.
