The latest from the negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program is in its final phase.  Iran is front and center in the proxy wars in the region, as Israel continues to oppose the negotiations and press for military action against Iran.  Will the Obama administration or the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu hold sway?

Meanwhile as the Arab Nations solidify a joint fighting force there is outrage at civilian deaths at the Saudi incursion into Yemen: the Saudi bombardment of Yemen has hit a refugee camp killing a number of civilians.   The Houthi rebels have thus far maintained their offensive despite the US backed bombings by Saudi Arabia.  The focus of the fight now is on Aden, the stronghold of the US and Saudi backed Yemen former President Hadi who was deposed by the Houthis.  Our guest is award winning journalist and expert on the region Reese Erlich.

And Nigeria: thus far it looks like the Presidency of Goodluck Jonathan is in trouble, with two more states in Nigeria left to be counted he is behind his rival Muhammaddu Buhari.  Our guest is historian and West Africa expert on the region Professor Donna Patterson.

And the budget wars in DC and economic negotiations between Greece and the EU: both a push and pull on economic direction will the austerity forces win the day?  Our guest is economist Max Wolff.
