Three years after the so called six-party talks with North Korea broke down, four months after North Korea conducted a nuclear test, there may be an agreement for the West to send North Korea desperately needed energy aid and North Korea to shut down the reactors. We turned to our White House correspondent, Martha Raddatz. Martha?   Charlie, the talks appeared nearly collapsed yesterday, but compromises were made, and tonight, a final deal is expected to be signed.   The draft agreement was reached after 16 hours of talks today between the six nations involved. The agreement calls for a step-by-step deal that would lead to a shutdown of North Korea's nuclear weapons program. U.S. negotiator Christopher Hill said all parties had to make concessions, but he would give very few details.   "I think everybody had to make some changes to try to narrow the differences. So, you know, let's get the thing approved and then we can talk who did what."   The major sticking point had been North Korea's demands for an energy package, which included two million tons of fuel oil and two million kilowatts of power before North Korea would agree to even start shutting down its nuclear program.   ABC News has learned that the compromise that was reached would give North Korea one million tons of fuel oil and electricity. President Bush has long said that the U.S. would not compromise with North Korea.   Tonight, an administration official insisted that remains the case, saying that it was principally South Korea which was involved in the energy negotiations. The first steps in the agreement would include North Korea sealing its nuclear reactor and allowing international inspectors back into the country. The agreement would essentially freeze the existing program, but there is no deadline for turning over nuclear weapons or fuel already manufactured.   "The real question is whether or not we will be able to follow up the freeze with a real denuclearization we'll get our hands on the nuclear material North Korea has produced over the last four or five years."   The Clinton Administration made a similar deal with North Korea in 1994. North Korea broke that agreement, and, Charlie, it is not a surprise that the Bush Administration says this is different.
