[00:00.00]Iran and six world powers have agreed on the framework of a plan
[00:06.78]to limit Iran's nuclear programs.
[00:09.96]Negotiators are meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland.
[00:14.25]Officials from Germany and Iran said Thursday
[00:17.84]that they made enough progress in the talks
[00:21.14]to continue working toward a final agreement.
[00:24.97]The time limit for the final agreement is June 30.
[00:29.29]An official said the deal would include limits
[00:32.76]on Iran's enrichment of uranium for 10 years.
[00:36.89]In Washington, President Barack Obama said
[00:40.53]the U.S. has reached a "historic understanding with Iran,"
[00:44.95]and called the agreement "a good deal"
[00:47.73]and one that meets the main goal
[00:50.21]of keeping Iran from getting a nuclear bomb.
[00:53.78]Kenyan officials said an al-Shabab attack
[00:58.84]killed 147 people Thursday
[01:02.57]at a university in northeastern Kenya.
[01:06.02]Kenya's interior minister said about 160 students are still missing.
[01:12.71]The gunmen opened fire at Garissa University College,
[01:17.35]about 370 kilometers east of Nairobi.
[01:22.55]Some witnesses say the attackers were separating Christians and Muslims.

[01:33.85]Kenya's interior minister said four al-Shabab militants were among the dead.
[01:40.28]French officials say searchers
[01:44.66]have found the second flight information recorder
[01:48.16]from the Germanwings plane that crashed in France.
[01:52.68]This "black box" records information
[01:55.94]from almost every instrument on the plane.
[01:59.57]The first black box was a voice recorder.
[02:03.55]Its information led investigators to believe
[02:07.20]that pilot Andreas Lubitz purposely crashed Flight 9525 on March 24.

[02:20.96]searched online for information on suicide
