back of the head after
struggling with Schurr.
The local prosecutor announced
his decision today.

or excused, for example, by self

and that charge has been filed
with the courts as of today.

agreed with the murder charge.

Iran is removing 27 surveillance
cameras from its nuclear sites.

The U.N. Cameras were installed
under the 2015 nuclear deal.
Today, the U.N. Agency's chief
warned their loss could be the
fatal blow to enforcing that
agreement.
>> We are seeing, because of the
decision that is been announced
to us today, is a decrease of
the visibility that the agency
is going to have about what's
happening in Iran.
And, of course, that this is
something I deplore.

nuclear deal in 2018.

enrich more uranium gas closer
to weapons-grade levels.
