Chapter 2: What is the significance of Jesse Jackson's legacy?

32.808 - 44.909 Dan Schwartzman

The Reverend Jesse Jackson, one of the most prominent civil rights activists, as well as a two-time presidential candidate and the founder of the Rainbow Push Coalition, has died at the age of 84. Fellow civil rights activist Al Sharpton talked about his friend.

Now, he was a hard taskmaster. He would always get on me about, why are you on this issue? You need to be more studied on this. But He was one who was more responsible than anyone for teaching me activism.

That's civil rights activist Al Sharpton. Jackson had disclosed back in 2017 that he had Parkinson's disease. Iran says it has reached a, quote, general agreement with the U.S. on the basis of a potential nuclear deal that would lift sanctions on Tehran. Iran's foreign minister, though, cautioned that the next stage would be, quote, more difficult and detailed.

Axios is reporting that Iran is expected to present the U.S. with detailed proposals in the next two weeks to address some gaps in negotiations. Iran, meanwhile, closing the Strait of Hormuz for several hours to conduct military drills. Oil fell in the news of the positive negotiations to under $63 a barrel.

A third round of U.S.-led negotiations on ending Russia's war on Ukraine began in Geneva today. There is little optimism that a breakthrough can be reached to stop the more than four years of fighting. The talks are expected to address a wide range of issues, including territory, military, political and economic matters, and will continue for a second day on Wednesday.

Bloomberg's Oliver Crook with more.

I think that the sort of expectations are fairly low from, you know, the sort of renewed effort with the trilateral talks that involve the United States, the Ukrainians and the Russians, where basically this is the third meeting in about three weeks. So there certainly has been an increase of the cadence of these sort of negotiations.

132.308 - 147.104 Oliver Crook

That being said, again, you listen to Marco Rubio while he's been in Munich, while he's been in Budapest over the last couple of days. He's basically saying some days I feel better about it than others, but at the end of the day, you know, I'm not really in a position to say whether or not we're any closer to a resolution for this war.

147.385 - 162 Dan Schwartzman

That's Bloomberg's Oliver Crook. Democrats have sent a counteroffer to Republicans and the White House on their demands to rein in immigration enforcement with a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security into a fourth day over the issue. Zach Cohen covers Congress for Bloomberg Industry Group.

Chapter 3: How does Iran's nuclear deal impact global politics?

349.17 - 375.991 Unknown
