Hi, I'm Orman Alney, host of To The Point, produced at the non-profit public radio station, KCRW.

We're going to start this podcast in just a few seconds. First, though, I just want to ask you for a little

support, because in order to be comprehensive, we have to talk to people all over the world. That's

expensive. We have six producers, and they work very hard. That adds to what we need to do in order to try to meet your expectations.

So we made it easy to help.

You can donate $10 by texting KCRW to 20222.

Do that, if you will.

Let's now start the show.

And thanks.

From KCRW in Santa Monica and PRI, Public Radio International, this is To the Point.

Hello again, I'm Armin Alney, and this is To the Point from Public Radio International,

a daily look at the issues Americans care about most.

For the first time, since the Islamic Revolution 34 years ago, the U.S. and Iran have signed an agreement.

Five other nations have also agreed that economic sanctions will be suspended for six months

in exchange for a temporary freeze on Iran's nuclear program.

sharply divided. We'll hear more about that. Later, workers at Walmart are staging the latest in a

series of strikes across the country set to culminate on Black Friday. We'll find out what the

employees are demanding as Walmart leads other retailers in opening up for business on Thanksgiving Day.

First, here's the news.
