Hello from CNN I'm Joe Beck with the five things you need to know for Tuesday

September 19th. After more than five years imprisoned in Iran a group of

wrongfully detained Americans have touched down on U.S. soil.

All five landed in Washington, D.C. this morning, after they were freed yesterday as part of a

wider U.S. Iran deal. That agreement included unfreezing $6 billion in Iranian funds that can only

be used for humanitarian causes, as well as the release of five Iranian nationals detained in the US. This brings to an end a

year's long nightmare for the group and it's the result of long and complex

negotiations between two countries that very rarely see eye to eye.

His Secretary of States Anthony Blinkin speaking about the release.

It means that husbands and wives, fathers and children,

grandparents can hug each other again.

Some Republicans are criticizing the deal though, like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Unfortunately, the deal that secured their release may very well be the latest example of President Biden rewarding

and incentivizing to Iran's bad behavior.

The White House says this deal should not be taken as a sign that the U.S.'s relationship

with Iran is changing, and following the release, it announced new sanctions against the country.

Diplomatic relations between Canada and India are hitting a new low.

After Canada accused India of potentially being involved in the assassination of a Canadian citizen

and sick activist in British Columbia. India has rejected those accusations and called them absurd.

In tit for tat moves, both countries say they've kicked out senior diplomats,

while Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has raised the issue with President Joe Biden.

Any involvement of a foreign government in the killing of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is an unacceptable violation of our sovereignty.
