For this edition of the Friday Musical Interlude, our team chose the BBC News opening theme as a tribute to the fabulous work they do in bringing the World to us. We value the BBC's contribution and will be sharing thoughts in the "Visions" Channel over the course of the ensuing days especially as the UK Government begins its' review of the BBC Royal Charter:

Notations On Our World: On the #IranDeal (An #Outsider Newsflash For the Day)
The US Secretary of State, The US Secretary of Energy and the US Secretary of the Treasury are testifying before the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. The Republicans are expressing their reservations in their profound way. As we went to press here, Senator Rubio of Florida is speaking about the profound reservations he has on the deal reminding the World about how the next US President will be under no obligation to abide by the deal after 2017.
Secretary Kerry is noting that the Bush Administration Memorandum with the P5+1 was followed by the Obama Administration--including working with Iran. He noted that if anyone thinks that the Iranian Leadership will come back to negotiate is a fantasy.

Notations On Our World: On the #IranDeal (The Latest From the Grid) w/a "newsflash" From #Burundi
The Public Relations Battle on the Iran deal is gathering steam. As we went to press here, The Secretary of State was on Capitol Hill making the rounds as Congress gears up for the 60-Day Review Process. Iran's Majlis has formed a special committee that will report out on it within 80 Days after the submission.
In our "daily roundup", we wanted to report on this published on +Al Jazeera English that is quite perceptive in laying out the arguments and the challenges ahead:

A clear indication is what the view of the US House Speaker as President Obama also joined The Daily show w/Jon Stewart to discuss the Iran Deal (and of course have some fun as well):

As we went to press, though, we wanted to end with a potentially hopeful development. We are gratified to report, though, on a hopeful development in Burundi. It appears that all parties are open to the idea of a National Unity Government. We will continue to monitor over the ensuing days.
