>> welcome to al jazeera america i'm david shuster. a storm with 125 miles-per-hour wind gusts is battering the philippines. municipalities of female have evacuated low-lying areas the storm is expected to pass north of the philippines second largest city. >> the state department officals say secretary o secretary of stn kerri is headed to switzerland to help with negotiations over iran's nuclear program the change in the schedule came hours after an iranian official says the agreement with talks is in the works.

the fda is banning transfats. >> there has been an apology from president obama. the president says he is sorry to the millions of americans that are losing their healthcare plans because the coverage don't doesn't meet the requirements mandated by the affordable care act. the president has been saying for years if he the they like tr plans they can keep them. will see you back here at 11:00 eastern and 8:00 west edmonton:.

the fda takes a hit on obese tea. owety. owe obesity of is this a band-aid on a far larger problem? >> john kerr kerry announces a l in geneva. j why did that documentary never see the light of day in america? the block buster director and sir jackie stewart will join us with that story. i'm antonio mora we begin with this your health and the fda. most people know that transfats can be really bad for you. now the food and drug administration has put out a propos al thaal that could see

transfats banned from the diet they raise bad cholesterol and they have no known health benefit or safety limit. to understand the significance of the proposal i'm joined by dean ornis. thiornishi dean great to have you with us what did you think when you heard this announcement today. how big a problem are transfoughtransfatsin the ameri. >> ten years ago i worked with the ceo of mcdonalds to get the transfats out of mcdonald

french fries and they raise the issue that french fries are our production. and we did the same thing with pepsi co and they were the first request for that. they took the transfats out of the potato chips and that was ten years ago. it's taken time. but i think transfats are the one thing that all experts agree on. whether it's doctor atkins, but it's the wi one thing we agree n and they are all badn 't and there is no reason to be in the diet. and i am delighted that thousands of lives may be saved by what they did today. >> elame wileliminating thanks d stop 6000 deaths every year. we have 7000 deaths from heart disease and still important it's

only one percent for those 7000 people it's a big deal. >> sure. >> i think that is an under estimatation anyway. you don't need thank transfats e is an economitransfats increasef diabetes and the chronic inflammation. and i bet you anything that those numbers are a underestimatation. people have been eating less transfats and the fda dr requird them to be inincluded on food labels. americans consumed ha 4 and a hf grams of transfat and in resent years the levels of the

transfatty acids in adult blood streams have dropped 60%. is the fda late to the party with this proposal? >> better late than never. i have a lot of admiration for from peggy hamburg. there is a lot of money at stake here. there is a lot of pressure from food mrves manufacturers sayingy wait a minute i don't want to o that. the reason the transfat levels have dropped is because cops companies have stopped using them in their products. is that the end all or be all? of course not, but it's a good start. julie greenseed had this to say about the move on al jazeera. most manufacturers and restaurants have gotten rid of transfat that is the good news. >> and now the oils are available and they don't coast t

more and it will be easy for other pisses and food manufacturers to make the changes as well. >> it does increase the shelf life of products. >> that is a advantage to the consumer. if you have to choose between the profits of the industry and the health or sur0al of thousands or tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people i think the fda really made the right choice here. tracks fats and crackers and cookies and frozen pies and microwave popcorn and frozen

pizza, the list goes on and on and on. people need to avoid these if they can. >> even the labels are a good start. if you have less than a half a gram of transfat per serving there is zero transfats. if you are eating four or five servings of crackers you can get the transfats without realizing it. i think banning them makes a lot of sense. heart disease is still th bic oh killer. our studies show that if you move toward a plant based diet heart disease can be like taoues malaria today. >> this is a go start in that regard. dr. dean ornish we appreciate your persian pecktive on this today. >> now switching gears from the fda to the fbi.

the fbi shutdown a black market website called silk road. a place where you could buy forged dock dockles dockless nop and running by a new admin straighter. can nick be done to stop these sites from opening up and doing illegal business in plain sight? after all of the effort, the fbi shuttle down this website not nt only is it back up and running, but many competitors benefitted from the site going down because

their business increased. skip is the fight against these web sites futile? >> no i don't think it is. it's very, very difficult given the circumstances that the law enforcement agencies have to deal with. they have to adhere to the proper codes and they have the level of information that rises to proof beyond a reasonable doubt which is in the court systems. those are not futile guess ter gestures. >> it does take more preventive eschpreventissues to see if we p stuff going on. >> the senator said "rather than play whackamo with a website we need to develop thoughtful and hihimhinimbel policies.

>> these sites are only accessible on the deep web through the tour browser that lets you go through the internet anonymously and makes your activities untraceable. eva what can the government do to shutdown these black market sites that are selling these illegal things without compromising the illegal legitimate services that are pro provided by the deep web. >> what i can tell you what they can't do. they can't block tour there are a lot of reasons to have tour to communicate anonymously on-line. and this can be used for legitimate purposes as well as for purposes of committing crimes. and there is simply no way to

make it so that tour only works if you have a good intention. another one is bit coin. they can be bought anonymously and how much of a factor is bit coin. is that something that should be outlawed? >> i don't know about outlawed. but certainly it's something that need to be looked at as a former regulation. the bigger issue is even though aryou are dealing with cash how doedoyou convert that to monetay value where you live. once it occurs it's easier to see that. that may be an approach the government may want to take under the of anti-money laundering laws. not only are they up and running

they have tighter security measures. welcome back to freedom over the last four whit weeks we have ovr hauled the website. they are selling illegal drugs and they snubbed their nose at the fbi. anddo you think the on-line site is safer ta than before. i think it's hard to tell. if i was a criminal i would be skeptical of their claims. we are talking about a huge amount of money. more than a billion dollars seems to have gone through silk road. the guy that used to run it

albrecht allegedly ran it and he has been arrested. they found $50 million of bit coin on his computer. >> when you have that much money involved it's like the drug business outside of the internet is it going to be hard to stop? >> i think it may be. without going on the inside and eva was correct, tour is a very complex system that is very difficult to defeat. it does have it's moments for criminal activity and should not be blocked. there are activities to circum t

it. >> bewe see a transaction what is going on and it's up to their discretion as to whether they accept the transaction or not. it's moore o more on the prevene side. >> what can be done? >> um, i don't think that there is a whole lot you can do in the way of technical technical fixes. these are new ways of committing old crimes. >> i appreciate you both joining us. it's a fas fascinating story. secretary of state john kerry head to agai geneva to talk abot iran. is there hope for a peace deal coming up.

>> it's time for let's make a deal between the u.s. and world leaders and iran not everyone is on board. >> the death to america signs remain in iran. and senator bob want to stop president obama from lifting sanctions that are key to irans participation in any deal. >> i do believe the sanctions that we put in place have created this moment. and i do know that the administration opposed those sunks and we had to push the administration to the table and i will say the administration is trying to take advantage. i hope we'll move ahead in a fashion that shows a real strategy to ensure that what iran does is real it's not just talk.

>> with us from geneva where the talks are in progress. is reza. and finally dr. holla who spent 105 days in solitary confinement in iran's prison and has followed the negotiations as a director of the wilson center she is in our d.c. studio. great to have you here. >> ambassador i want to star with you. you have been at the table as a negotiator with iran. we were here in 2003. that went no where and all of the talks in the past have been a failure do you think this time can be different? >> definitely this time is different. nearing 2003 to 2005 we were propose being all transparency measures.

all confidence america yours and guaranteeing the peace process would happen forever. >> the talks in 2003 to 2005 failed because of the u.s. position declining the legitimate right of iran under their entity for enrichment. this time the red line for the u.s. is not enrich. this time the red line for the u.s. is nuclear bomb which iran has never been looking for a nuclear bomb. and there for in today's talk, which is the first day of the second round of talks, iran has demonstrated it's willingness for all measures. >> the ieaa is reinquiring ira .

let's talk about the framework of what the deal will be we aretalkin talking about them asking iran to freed 'freez freeze the nuclm for five months. iran is looking for relief on the sanctions that are crippling iran. do you see progress and is there a possibility of a deal. >> yes there is progress and there is a possibility of a deal we need to put those two things in context. what makes this different and what makes this roll i real in w is all parties are talking about a road map. that can reach an end game that can change the relation ship and

all of the parties in the p five plus one. >> and what we are talking about iran freezing the development of the nuclear program and not adding any new sanctions and providing any additional forms of relief would be an interim step. after the common goals are established. you can then get to a step two and three where more stick signt concessions are made by both sides. side. what needs to happen now is all parties need to sit down at the negotiate beinnegotiating tablee worwording if that is successfut could come to fruition. do you agree with what rez is saying. if the past we were looking at a partial treatment.

treatment -- agreement this is being talked about as a long term deal where there is a clear engame. end game. and do you agree that this is a poinapossibility now. and this is characterized as now or never moment. >> i believe this is step one on and both sides have talk about several steps. >> but i auto ra i iran has madr from the very beginning it will not stop enrichment. it will continue it's enrichment, but under strict supervision an inspection of the ieaa. >> i think the big difference this time is that we let by gones be by gones and this is a

new beginningc beginning and irn really transparent about what they think should be what they can put on the table and what they think should be the end game. we have the director general of the i etceae a speaking a few ds ago. he said something interesting. he said that iran has com come p with a suggestion that they will not tie the two negotiations together. it means they will negotiate on separate issues. with the ieae and they again nee with other issues with the p five plus one. this is a new position by iran. my since is it's going to be tough, but one has to hope that this is going to be it and maybe it will lead to some sort of an

agreement over i this problem. >> now a ambassador, one big ise as we go into these talks. zariff is not a hard liner and he spent a lot of time in the west and well known in the united states and people at the u.n. we saw what happened this woke in iran. in -- week if iran. thousands were shou shouting deo america. and given that an what americans see coming out of iran still. do you understand why hard-liners in the u.s. are skeptical and a deal is possible. >> we have had hard liners for

years. they are increasing the road between iter ra it at th tehran. and open up the door for direct talks and approachment between iran and the u.s. what already happened in new york direct talks between the two foreign ministers. their phone conversation between obama and many direct negotiations between the iron aniranand the u.s. delegation. it shows a mote momentum for a change. it takes time an mistrust is deep between the u.s. and iran. i believe this is a good beginning and i hope that the new trend will lead to a major

change in iran and u.s. relations. >> the ambassador has a point. there are hard-liners in the united states. >> and they are talking in the senate about hardening the sanctions instead of loosening them. do you think the u.s. is ready to make the kind of deal that iran needs? >> i think there are elements in the united states that are ready to make that kind of deal and there are clearly elements that are not i speak about the congress and the treasury department and if the white house says we are doing a deal they have to follow suit. the real issue is with congress here. if you are moving down the diplomacy traffic you can't move down the sanction track simultaneously. if we have have them in place now what they are there to do is

provide leverage at the negotiating table. so we can trade them in for concessions that we want the iranians to make. this is a peaceful solution that we have found. they deere dede deserv obama isy sanctioninsanctions to be lifte. >> hopefully the obama administration will continue to push back to ensure that the diplomacy is given be a opportunitanopportunity to suct. do you think that iran will be able to give concessions that the united states is comfortable to the point where they won't believe that yoi ran will have a bomb soon a former director of

said iran could be as little as three months away before they could have accrued new clear whip. whip -- nuclear weapon. my sense is that if iran wanted to push through this why bother to come and sit at the table and put up with the wrath of the hard liner in iran. i believe that once they chose to negotiate they will choose the inspection that is reasonable by the ieae and we can't expect from iran to accept conditions that are really not reasonable wit when they know tt the sanctions that nigh might be lifted are reversible.

we have to give diplomacy a chance and hope that congress will sit back and wait for six months. and same for the har hard-linern iran. hoping that they will tone down their rhetoric and it was not necessary to have this death to next charade. it was embarrassing for everybody. let's hope that diplomacy suctiosucceed in geneva. i thank you all for your time. >> time to see what is trending on al jazeera america's website. >> let's check in with our social media producer. >> antonio, recently adobe have announced they have been hit by sigcyber attackers al jazeera america obtained a ope copy of .

it's our digital story of the day by al jazeera america interactive developer. mistake number one. many users made their password identical to their password hint. and secondly password hints like bank account passwor pass like l security number. also a no-no is making your password hint like a mother or college or pet. and just for fun we found that the top three most popular password hints are doing name and usual. you can read more on the website at al jazeera america.com. >> i have so many passwords i can keep track anymore. straight ahead a famous oscar-nominated director and a

famous race car driver in the world getting to to make a film about racing. why has it taken 40 years to be seen in the across america. >> share your story on tv and online. determining using some sort of subjective interpretation of their policy as to whether or not your particular report was actually abusive, because if it doesn't contain language that specifically threatens you directly or is targeted towards you specifically, they may not consider it abuse. they may consider it offensive. and in that case they just recommend that you block that person. >> i don't want to minimise this, because i mean, there's

some really horrible things that are on line, and it's not - it's not just twitter, what has happened through social media and the anonymity of the net is that you see websites, hate-filled websites targetting all sorts of groups, popping up. there has been a huge number of those that exist as well. >> this is the world ac's most

glamorous race. selmonte carlo should be driven smoothly. >> we are pleased to welcome jackie stewart. and he woul we welcome you havee

stestewart and roman polanski ad they make this film and it never comes out. roman gets a call from the lab and says we are going to throw away the negative and what do you want us to do with it. and he said send it over here and i starts watching the film and he calls sir jackie and he said let's go back to monday mod film more footage 40 years later and i see the film and i think this film has to see the light of day it's a master piece. it was the original film and them talking about it 40 years later. there is a lot of intimate conversations with polanski. >> roman was a great friend and he had been a friend before of e

movie started. >> i met him in la and we became close friends and when he came back and said what about it? i thought it was a great idea. i didn't realize he was going to reshoot a lot of the stuff and then 40 years later the two of us in a suite in monte carlo. monaco is one of the most glam glamorus exciting race courses in the world. roman's idea this we are seeing two people much older talking about then and now. >> what was it like to watch yourself then and now? >> i have seen that a few times. >> there is a lot of film on that. ,. >> you did have longer side

burns then. >> the longer the side burns the faster you went. >> it would probably be impossible to shoot this film in monte carlo today because of the restrictions. >> first of all because it was roman polanski jackie stol tolde story. the frien friendship he had with jackie jackie had him in to his world. there is no way the director would be able to be on the track the way he filmed this. >> it must have been dangerous for the film makers not only the drivers in this case. >> he was one of the film makers roman was behind the camera himself. it was the access to allow them to take place. they would have never gotten access unless you were roman

polanski. they say once the helmet visor goes down you go into another world. >> it's like a guy being given aan injection. you have been given anance the n aesthetic. and you lose all relation to to grief, pain and emotion outside of what you want to do. what you want to get out of that racing car. and ever so often the an aesthetic wears off and you see the cold hard horrible world that you are involved in. you see things that you don't want to see. you really want to have another shot to get back into the comfort and the warmth of your assesescape. >> some how it sounds like the ultimate at lotic zone. it wa athletic zone is if you rd

for five years two out of three you will die. under and one out of three you l live. my wife and i counted 57 drivers who i raced against who were no longer with us. that were killed in racing action and that has changed. >> it's more than 19 years since we lost a grand prix driver in a racing car which is remarkable. the film shows horrible crashes one particular incidents where a car blows up in the pit at the >> at the same track and it just

blew up in the pits. >> and is that part of the reason you decided to quit driving. >> i had mono ne nucliosis and t was a different world in those days. race drivers don't do that racing anymore. >> with the glamor back then and it may be more garag glamorus t. >> i think he had a passion for the sport and he had a passion for his friendship with jackie. to him jackie stewart was the coolest pan in the world and it was the synergy that allowed the fill be tfilm to be made. if wasn't for their friendship the film wouldn't have been

made. what do you think of the guys that are racing today. how they would fair back in your day? >> i think the animal is the same. i think the technology changes, but the animal remains the same. >> i don't think you were a fan of jim clark or way back in the 30s. >> is the animal really the same. because of the efforts of you and others it's a lot safer than it was bar back then many. >> sure. like in any sport you are focused in your own little world. you don't think it will happen to yourself you think it happens to other people i never drew blood from my body in a racing car. i always drove the best cars and the best people and the best mechanics and the best ebb nears. --

engineers. the car crashes and the impact comes back on to you. >> he was friends with these guys and their families were friends and he lost five of them in one season. >> why do you think formula one success in the united states has been such a hit an miss especially with the huge popularity of nascar an indy charges. cars. >> the boat o bottom line thereo american race drivers. you need american participation.

the american lobbir library awar 2007 and a lot of judges started asigning the book as part of the sentencing not as a penalty, but to write a book report. to do some teaching. >> there are a lot of tenants in this book that we want these young people to learn about. >> you started to get letters and book reports. >> i started to get book reports. there was this one time i got a huge file of 27 book reports from orange county florida. and i started to get more and more letters and i started to get letters from young women and then it started building through the adult prison system as well i received so many letters that were so moving. and i wanted to figure out what can i do to impact this.

>> i started to dig deeper about the mass inyear incar incarceran our country. i wanted to shine light on this issue and at the same time help individual. not go from a top down approach, but a bottom up approach responsibility let's pick it. knicks it. fix it. >> a lot of the book fo focusesn your cors correspondence with oe particular inmate. he wrote you with the first book and he got out of jail and he ended up back in jail. and he wrote you a very angry letter. he wrote me letter from th stand point of i'm mad at the world. lot of these young men don't

>> what is the most important thing for my book it's a come composite of a number of people that i had letter ex-cakeses with. it couldn't be just one person. i wanted the message to encompass a global story. some of the things and acts don't apply to others. and so if you committed a vie t act some things may not apply o you. i wanted to have a global application for individual that are incarcerated and not just folks that are in physical prison. many of us are strapped a debt in a job we don't love and fever of doing something new or starting a my business or learn that language we wanted to learn. hopefully this is a motivational

hoping that jail will never become a problem you are advocating for more education and after jail. >> dealing with prison if a different way than we deal with it in this country. >> right know the biggest buried ebburdenis a burden on the taxp. it costs mother to send someone to likers than to send them to harvard. we actually addressed that on the show that is an example of exactly the problem. we can be smarter. >> zblrkts you. i call it being smart on crime. and what if it was four strikes you are out or five strikes. the point is that i want to be

hard on crime. what does it mean when people don't want to go back to prison. people say they are criminal and should we give them some measure of benefit society be benefits. every dollar that we spend on public education pays us back seven dollars for not having to send someone to prison. let's be smar smarter. we can do this. >> let's talk about what is no the new ininthe news. bill deblasio was elected in new york. don't those measures stop people from going to prison. >> stop and frisk is interesting. >> if you think of o of the fou.
