consider this. the news of the day plus so much more. answers to the questions no one else will ask. >> it seems like they can't agree to anything in washington no matter what. >> this is al jazeera america live from new york city. i'm tony harris with a look at today's top stories. bowe bergdahl back in the united states. we'll bring you a live news conference from the army. president obama said u.s. troops will not go back into iraq despite what is called a full-scale rebellion. and it's a two-man race to replace house majority leader eric cantor.

>> army sergeant bowe bergdahl returned to the u.s. today. he's now in a texas military hospital to continue his treatment there wer. officials will speak about his condition. we'll keep an eye on this for you, and we'll bring you, well, it looks like military brass coming to the microphones. let's go to san antonio right now and have a listen. >> can everyone hear me now? okay, good afternoon, everyone, i'm colonel hans bush, the spokesman for the south. the mission lead headquarters

for this reintegration phase three press conference. today we're going to address your questions in the reintegration of sgt. bowe bergdahl. from burke army medical center dr. wolfe. as a reminder, his reintegration activities here at brooke army medical center. questions about his activities before and after the integration will be made by me and the department of defense. we'll make a previous statement and then go to q & a for approximately 30 minutes. >> the united states military is proud that we have honored the

covenant we hold with all soldiers, sailors, airman, coast guards man never to leave one behind. as you're aware sgt. bowe bergdahl was returned may 31st. he began his decompression process in germany. he remained there for 12 days. once his medical providers felt he was able to travel our army reintegration team accompanied him to the san antonio medical center. during his stay here sgt. bergdahl will go through reintegration which will equip him with the necessary tools to bring him to the emotional and physical duties. currently sgt.burg a dal is in stable condition and will work

daily with physical and mental health professionals. the reintegration of sgt. bergdahl is a comprehensive process. there is no set timeline. each phase sgt.berg dal participates in is a custom event fitted to his circumstances. this reintegration process is done because the department of defense assigned the department of the army the lead and department of the army then ta tasked with the lead for phase three reintegration. we have received tremendous support from the department of defense, from leaders who were lead for phase one in the initial recovery and phase two,

decompression for reintegration. across the united states government's interagency and combatant commands. this clearly demonstrates our nation is committed to never leaving a comrade behind. it is also my pleasure to have colonel wolfe and colonel bradley on my right, both reintegration experts. >> please stand to ask your

question. we'll start on the left side of the room. >> this is for any of you, but especially all of you were with him last night when he arrived. i recognized that you can't talk a whole lot about him because of the hippa rules, but nonetheless i would ask you if you could about his mood upon landing. did he seem happy to be home, how did he appear to be doing emotionally and physically. i saw in the background that you tried to normalize the person's emotions. can dr. popin explain how to do that especially since he's been in captivity for so long. >> first, i was on the ground when specialist bergdahl arrived about 0140 this morning, so

1:40 this morning. i basically saw him for 60 seconds. necessarhe was in uniform as an u.s. army sgt.. we exchanged salutes. we were part of the three vehicle convoy. he appeared just like any sergeant would when you see a two-star general a little bit nervous. he looked good. saluted. >> in captivity a decision to make any choice is taken away. we slowly give them choices and have a sense of control. we let them tell their story in

a healthy meaning. we look to normalize their behavior letting them know coping skills in captivity while functional in that environment may not be functional now. and we'll help them for the future to deal with events moving forward. >> okay, next question. >> two questions. at what point do you integrate with bowe the controversy surrounding his capture and release. at what point is that introduced to him. every indication that we have so far is that he is unaware of all of that. it's been two weeks and as far as we know he has not spoken with his parents. is that out of the norm? it seems that parents who had not seen their son for five years would have at least talked

with him on the phone. >> family support is a critical part of the reintegration process. making sure the family understands the reasons why we do it, the necessity of decompression, and the understanding support of that process. overall it is the returnees choice to decide when that course occurs, and i believe the family understands that. >> and the controversy around his disappearance? >> anything surrounding the controversy of his disappearance is not part of reintegration. that will be done after reintegration is complete. >> just a clarification, you're asking if the media is awar he is aware that the media is reporting on him now. >> again, as we give him a sense of control we expose him more

and more to the events happening around him. at some point in time he'll be exposed to the media, what's going on in the world, but again, right now he has no exposure. we'll tightly integrate that exposure. >> next question. >> just a moment. lets get the mic over to you. >> i have a loud voice any way. my with the abc affiliate here. can you confirm conflicting reports is his family actually here? >> ma'am, your question is for? >> whoever can answer that. >> no, his family is not here at this time. >> will they be coming? i saw a report that they were not planning on coming. >> at this point in time the bergdahl's have requested that their privacy be maintained and the privacy of their travel as well. >> very well. >> this would be a good time to

share a release given to us by the family this morning. it may stave off some of the questions about the family. >> on behalf of the bergdahl family. while the family is overjoyed that their son has returned to the united states, mr. and mrs. bergdahl will not make any travel plans public. with that we'll go to the next question. >> hi, this is a little bit of a repeat, and i wasn't sure who should address this, but can you specifically address his condition now physically and then also his condition mentally, and then i have one other question related to that. the--if you could talk a little bit about whether he has expre expressed--whether he plans or wants to return to duty. >> as far as his medical

condition we received from the phase two integration team this morning. overall we're pleased with his physical state. he was able to ambulate and walk into the hospital, and seemed to do so in a functional manner. we allowed him to get settled in to the hospital, and in to his room, and his environment. we're going to be planning more comprehensive testing and consultation, stuff that was not done during phase two. >> regarding his mental state, from the psychological perspective, we look at normal people who are living in abnormal events. our goal is to help them understand how what is functional at that time is not functional now. we don't see him as pathologicalcally damaged. we will help him return to

healthy coping skills and resilience. >> over here with the mic. brad, do you want to take that on. >> the goal of reintegration is to return the soldier to duty. >> over here on the left. >> can you tell us anything about sgt. bergdahl's memory of what happened out there? does he have memories of the past five years, and also has he spoken to any soldiers who he served with, and are there any plans to have him do so? >> that's a great question. we're trying to go through a process of debriefing sgt. bergdahl, to have him go through his story. but it is his story. we'll let him answer questions at a time when it is appropriate. >> in terms of memory, is he talking to people about what happened there?

>> that is part of the debriefing process, yes, ma'am. >> and has he spoken to any soldiers out there? >> the members of the debriefing team, the reintegration team do con consist of soldier, yes. >> but are they soldiers he served with? >> no. >> okay, next question. over on the right side of the room. >> if you could say anything as far as his reintegration process. is it typical of what others have gone through in this, and what challenges will he face, what is special to his case? >> every reinterrogation process is unique, and brad, let me turn it over to you. >> every integration process is unique as is every captivity events. we'll talk to sgt. bergdahl about the event, what he knows

about the event. it is unique that we know that sgt.burg sgt. bergdahl was the only u.s. soldier held in captivity and therefore had no contact with other u.s. soldiers in captivity. >> was there a follow up? >> are his challenges going to be more physical or psychological-mental? >> we'll be addressing all of those challenges. we'll return to his physical, psychological needs and return him to as healthy life as possible. >> next question. >> this has been asked a couple of times, but i'm not sure if it has been answered. can you tell us more about his demeanor? is he cooperative, communicating, is he excited? sad? >> the fact he has finished phase two, which is

decompression, means he is ready to do for interaction with reintegration team. >> my follow up would be, is he being encouraged to reach out to his family even though it seems at this point he doesn't want to speak with them. >> the reinterrogation process is done at the pace of the returnee. he is in the process at this point. >> colonel, is he anxious to talk to his parents? is there indication that he wants to or doesn't want to? >> right now i need to protect his privacy and let him make those decisions on his own. >> and major general can you describe what goes on in a daily basis? what is he going to be doing

tomorrow? is he in a group? one-on-one, reading, catching up on history? what is he doing? >> i would be happy to answer that. as you're aware, he just arrived in san antonio tomorrow. the biggest thing like any of us after a trans-atlantic flight is to allow him to settle in, take care of personal hygiene and familiarize himself with his surroundings. he is starting to be evaluated by some of our consulting services over the weekend. we will synchronize that both with the debriefing process as well as with medical evaluation, some stuff that was not done because again the emphasize was to address the medical needs as well as decompression process. >> i just want to make sure how many of you gentlemen were on the plane with him from germany

to san antonio. >> none. >> none. okay. earlier this week an army major in germany-- >> this is the news conference from san antonio, texas. as you know, army sgt. bowe bergdahl has just arrived. it sounds like he has a pretty extensive process of reintegration to go through, and he'll set the pace until he's healthy enough to be reintegrated into his life as a soldier. it sounds like a long road ahead. lisa stark for us. we heard that sergean sergeant bergdahl is in stable position. and it sound like he has a healthy process of reintegration. there are a number of steps to

come. >> he is driving this process. that it's very individualized and he'll determine how fast and how slow. he'll determine when he sees his family members. he's determining how things are going to go in the days and possibly weeks ahead. they indicated he's in stable condition, and he will be working daily with those physical and mental health professionals to get him back in shape both emotionally and physically, and they were also asked about how he appeared when he first got off that plane, and the commander major general joseph di salvo had this to say about what happened when he met bowe bergdahl for 60 seconds. i guess we don't have that right now. >> well, it was great. he said he had good deportment.

>> he said he saluted him. he was in uniform. he said like any sergeant would, we have it now. >> he appeared just like any sergeant would when he sees a two-star general a little bit nervous, but he looked good, he saluted. >> they also talked about how he was physically. he walked on his own into the hospital. the doctor there who saw him said he seemed to be in okay shape. they're letting him settle in. they wanted to let him take care of personal hygiene and then they would start working with him over this weekend mentally, physically, continue to debrief him. the whole idea is to get him back to as normal a state as possible, and they also made the point that he is not being investigated at this point. that's not part of the r

reintegration process, and they'll introduce that notion to him very slowly. little by little. they have not really talked about that yet. >> at some point he will gradually be exposed to the media reporting around this story. lisa, we heard a lot of questions about bowe bergdahl's family, whether or not the family had traveled to san antonio. whether the family had spoken to bowe bergdahl at this point. a lot of questions about the family and i guess we can surmise from that that the family is taking its time connecting with their son in the same way that this maybe not to in any way infringe upon this very delicate integration process. >> the military brass did say the family is not on property. they did not say when the family would get there. in fact, the family will not be

revealing their travel plans. it sounds to me that it's really up to bowe bergdahl. he will be the one who will make the call when he is ready to talk to his family. they do provide family support services. the family is getting their own support through this. but really it's up to sgt. bowe bergdahl who will say okay, i'm ready to talk to my mom. i'm ready to talk to my dad. clearly he's not ready to do that. >> iraq has a full-scale rebellion on their hands. prime minister nourial maliki as volunteers arrived to protect the city's holy shrines. but rebels are enclosing on baghdad. the iraqi state is leading an offensive 80 miles from the capitol. we have the latest. >> reporter: in the holy city, a call to arms. through his spokesmen, the most

influential cleric in iraq said the people must act. >> i all on iraqis who are capable of carrying arms and fighting terrorists. they should volunteer to carry this sacred goal. >> we have volunteered to defeat the fighters who have harbored malice towards our country, and god willing we'll fight them. >> this is what they found a military parade full of fighters belonging to the state of iraqi. even though there is a calm in the city those who left are finding it difficult. some are returning to villages near mosul because they have not found shelter in the kurdish

region of iraq where half a million people have gone and need help. >> the situation is terrible. our normal life is being destroyed. we're alwe were afraid they would target us. >> reporter: nouri al maliki. the memorial has been besieged by fight whose have given them a deadline to leave the city. samarra is a crucial flash point and when that shrine was attacked by al-qaeda in 2006 it set off a brutal sectarian war that killed thousands of iraqis. in kirkuk this continue to push off. if they take that third town, the provinces, it will only make the crisis in iraq worse.

al jazeera, baghdad. >> president obama has ruled out accepting american troops to iraq but is weighing other options. he said the crisis in iraq could threaten american security if left uncheck. randall pinkston, how much pressure is president obama under to respond to this situation in iraq? >> tony, certainly he's under a lot of pressure from critic who is say he made a mistake by not allowing american forces to stay in iraq. what they don't say is that nouri al-maliki would not agree to let american forces to stay there with the kind of arrangement that is required, which is immunity for their actions in iraq. al maliki did not want them there. president obama wanted to bring it to a conclusion. and here we are today where the situation that iraq appears to be on the verge of all-out civil war.

a spokesperson said whatever is done, it will not be open-ended, and it will not be long-term, but president obama said military action alone won't solve iraq's problems. >> reporter: president obama ignoring critics calling him to move quickly on iraq said it will be days for him to make a decision, saying there will be no boots on the ground. >> american crops have made extraordinary sacrifices to get iraqis the opportunity to claim their own future. unfortunately, iraqi leaders have been unable to overcome the mistrust and sectarian differences that long have been simmering. that's created vulnerabilities within the iraqi government. >> those differences between shia, sunnies and kurds provided an opening for isil to make

dramatic gains, seizing cities and towns north of baghdad. thousands of iraqi soldiers trained and equipped by the u.s. shed their uniforms, ran away from their posts and abandoned billions of dollars in tanks, small weapons and ammunitions. >> the collapse in the north happened because the predomina predominantly shia forces in north could not get along with the predominantly sunny civilians. >> reporter: president obama said the pentagon is preparing a range of possible actions. leaders have said they would support drone strikes. despite the pledge of no boots on the ground, they say there are other options to go after isil. >> the challenge is that would require decision targeting. that can be done by drones, but it's better done by people on the ground.

>> reporter: as the conflict creates a growing refugee cris crisis, iraqis fleeing battle grounds president obama said america cannot solve the problem alone. >> iraq's neighbors also have responsibilities to support this process. nobody has an interest in seeing terrorists gain a foothold inside iraq and no one is going to benefit seeing iraq descend into chaos. the united states will do our part, but understand that ultimately it's up to the iraqis as a sovereign nation to solve their problems. >> president obama said he'll consult with congress on america's next move in iraq. >> the crisis is causing two long-time adversaries to join forces. they have reports that iran has sent military forces to help iraq fight isil. >> randall pinkston for us at the white house. president obama takes a trip

to a tribal reservation.

>> president obama arrived at the indian reservation in north dakota just a short time ago. >> reporter: 13-year-old marty martinez is used to being turned down as he tries to sell candy to raise money. he is not the only one here asking. this is the pine ridge indian reservation in south dakota. the poorest place in the united states. this is the home of the lakot lakota sioux indians. where half the people live below the poverty line. but these are people with more than $8 billion in the bank. money they refuse to take. >> it's very difficult. my people understand that. as i said, the lakota, we know

its hard. life is tough for us. we'll instill our values. >> reporter: they say this is their real home. the black hills, a two-hour drive from their reservation. the u.s. supreme court agreed saying in 1877 the government stole this sacred lan ordering they pay $100 million. that money has been sitting in the bank earning interest. but the sioux said to take it means to give up their land. >> still to think day it is. >> that seemed possible in 2008 when candidate presiden barack obama promised to negotiate to get them back their land.

but they say their repeated requests have been met with silence from the white house, and the administration officials won't say what, if anything, they've done on the issue. >> he would have the right to help us get our lands back. be a man of his word. >> ellen said she no longers believe the land will be returned in her lifetime, but she hopes it might be in our son's. >> our ancestors fought for t and i think we'll still fight for it until we get it back. >> reporter: a fight of 104 years. a small glimmer of hope fading, but they say that is nothing new. they are a people that have been used to disappointment. al jazeera, pine ridge, south dakota. >> joining us, mark of the schoney and bannic tribes. what are your thoughts about this visit from the president? >> i think the most important

part of the visit is that it sets in stone the idea that there is a government-to-government relationship between the united states and tribal governments. and that if you'r you're having the head of the united states recognizing that. in the piece that we just saw i think returning the land back to the tribes is most critical. there are 1700 pieces of land that are now in the process of being returned to tribal control. so i think it is something that is happening. it's just much slower than folks would like. >> i wonder, does your group of tribes, does your tribe have agreements with the president as was mentioned in this piece with the agreement of the sioux and the return of the land is happening much too slow. >> 90% is great relationship. but the 10% that is a problem.

a reservation in idaho there is a land that the environmental protection agency decided to do a cover up instead of clean up, and they argued that it's too expensive to clean up. and the tribe argues that someone made the mess and someone should clean it up. it's very lethal, it burns when in contact with oxygen. >> what are the issues with the tribal communities is the president going to get a first-hand up-close look with this visit. >> he's talking to young people, which is a great signal that education is a really great opportunity. as the u.s. goes to an older gem graphic, it is a great opportunity to invest in young people now so the types of jobs that are created will help to

sustain them. >> how would you describe the healt state of healthcare provided through the american indian health system. >> right, unlike other americans, american indians and alaskan natives have access to healthcare. it's been in tough shape. 60% is run by tribes. where the president is at in one of the places where it's run by the indian health services is the federal government. it's a good service but very poor. it's 60% underfunded. so there is a lot of unnecessary delays and expenses that need to be fixed. >> mark, thanks for your time. member of the shoshone ba nnic tribe. pathank you.

>> dandavid shuster is here with more on this race. mccarthy was tapped by cantor to be his replacement. he is in his fourth term, and he is a rocket ship right now. >> he certainly is. he's one of these young guns along with cantor and paul ryan, they all came in the same time. it's essentially mccarthy who is going to assume his responsibilities, and it's so remarkable, tony, kevin mccarthy practices a different kind of politics than the politics in power. he is considered one of the most likable guys on capitol hill. he's engaging, and he doesn't he doesn't talk about issues in the culture war whether it's abortion or gay rights. he has shied away from guns. even though he's likable, nice guy, he will not get controversy out of him.

he has built a great career in a short time. the leadership is saying hey, we need to get this farm deal done, and the complaint about mccarthy he was not strong enough. he was not willing to be forceful enough to force these members to come to terms. there is also some criticism of him not being the policies guy you want in leadership. he's not considered to have great policy chops. he's not someone who dives into the details which can make a difference. >> can we change topics, because you brought this to my attention. hillary clinton got in a dust-up, a spat on npr. and terry was asking about hillary clinton's evolving position on same-sex marriage. i think we have a clip. let's listen and then talk about

it. >> you are playing with my words and playing with what is-- >> i'm just trying to clarify. >> no, i don't think you are trying to clarify. i think you're trying to say that i used to be oppose, and now i'm in favor, and did i it for political reasons. that's just flat wrong. let me state what i feel like you're implying and repudiate it. i have a strong record. i have a great commitment to this issue, and i am proud of what i've done and the progress we're making. >> she doesn't want to be accused of being a flip flopper, i get that, but it plays into what is becoming a stereotype about the former secretary of state. >> yes, very defensive. this went on for seven minutes and the questions were not difficult questions. terry was saying, look, was it your personal view, and hillary clinton refused to acknowledge the question. terry kept asking and clinton

became increasingly defensive. if you're going to be defensive with friendly media, and we're talking about npr, are you really ready for the nature of the question should you decide to become president, and by the way, the questions don't get easier. if hillary clinton is going to have a defensive posture. that is a weakness and potential flaw in her candidacy. >> and what was the state on lincoln. >> she got her fact wrong. she described lincoln as a senator. he was never a senator. the clinton team was corrected, and got very defensive. and that's not a great position to be in before you have even launched your campaign. >> appreciate it. very well done. the search intensifies right now in the fatal shooting of an arizona priest. maria ines ferre has that headline and other news making

it's way across america. >> reporter: the police realized a description of a suspect. they're offering $1,000 reward for his arrest. the shooting happened at a catholic church in week. reverend kenneth walker died, another priest remains in critical condition. in oklahoma new details on that botched execution, an autopsy report showed that locket had healthy veins. industry food groups want to block modified food labeling. the law said that people should know if their food has been

modified. the house over looked a lake on a 75-foot cliff. it was evacuated two weeks ago. a part of the cliff has been crumbling into the water. and in new mexico something you don't expect a group of bachelors to find. the remains of an ancient animal. and san antoniand antonio and his friend saw a large tusk coming out of the ground. they sent pictures to new mexico's museum of natural history. experts say it looks like a 13 pre-historic elephant that roamed the earth millions and millions of years ago. >> it looks like notic it's in good shape. >> we look at the deadliest posts of afghanistan.

hear from a veteran who experienced it firsthand. . >> this, is what we do.

>> al jazeera america.

>> the general science has published deep thoughts about the source of the world's water. there has been massive underground reservoir that they believe contains three times the water on the surface of the earth. over time it seeped out and formed the oceans. some scientists think that the water came to our planet from frozen comets. wherever it comes from motion of the ocean is one of the primary forces that shapes our world. techno is trying to understand the ebb and flow.

>> a scholar studying the ocean. >> what have your experiments showed you. >> the size is about the same size, the same grain, the same discharges that we can reach in mountains and rivers. we're pretty much the same configuration. >> i find these incredibly cool. smart rocks. >> yes, it records the acceleration so we can tell when the energy is released. >> these are data collection points. >> yes, they are. >> what kind of speed is this? >> i think it's about 4 meters, i take it.

>> oh, wow. recorded by the smart rock helps scientists understand how the size, number and speed it erodes the land. >> what is the ultimate goal of your research? >> find a way to describe the physics that controls the erosion in a mountain range environment. >> reporter: and help scientists to better understand how our landscapes are formed, and how best to build around the force of nature. >> joining me now from los angeles with more on this is "techknow" editor, good to see you. >> good to see you, too, tony. >> the cal state scientist you were talking to was studying the effect of grain on water. what is that scientist telling you? >> grain is a term for the sendment that you find in rivers. they could be as small as silt particles or larger particles as

stones and pebbles. essentially grain and it's interaction with water is what they study at cal tech. >> and they're using this smart rock to test. what kind of data does it actually collect here? >> yes, those smart rocks are really cool. they have the middle taken out with electronics put inside of them. they can measure the speed and slowing down and interaction with other sand. it shows how the grains are moved about by the power of world. >> why are we needing to study this, with all the things in the world, why are we studying river dynamics. >> rivers are incredibly complex. they are the lifeblood of many communities. people tend to settle on the river banks.

we get so much from rivers, and it's important to understand how they function. not only are they a source of sustaining communities but they can be a source of incredible destruction, landslide and severe loss of life. it needs to be further understood, and that's what we're trying to do at cal tech. >> now you've got your first road show. it's airing tomorrow. describe it. what's coming up? >> it'the first time we've taken "techknow" on the road. we got to meet the actual academics firsthand. we can really see them in their natural habitat, essentially, playing with their gadgets and their toys. it's a giant river they recreated in the lab.

we can see them in their natural habitat, essentially. >> "techknow," it's this saturday night at 7:30 eastern time, 4:30 in the west right here on al jazeera america. afghan also go to the polls to vote in a presidential run off to elect their next leader. candidates have been threatened and attacked in the lead up to the votes. it will be the first peaceful transfer of power in afghani modern history. >> a new documentary reveals the daily lives of american soldiers at one of the deadliest outposts in afghanistan. an inside look at the fear and

exhilaration of war. roxana saberi sat down with a veteran who was in that film, and joins us now with more. >> reporter: tony, tony told me that he struggled a lot whe. >> we're going to be engaged again. >> in afghanistan's deadliest valley fighting the taliban was just the start of a long conflict for brendan. >> for a while there i started thinking that god hates me because i didn't sense i sinned. >> reporter: he spent 14 months in afghanistan. with 40 other men he defended a base camp, name after his close friend juan seen here before being killed in action.

brendon left in 2008. he was 25 then and lucky. over five years, 50 soldiers died. >> there was one time i thought in my entire time in afghanistan what are we doing here. there are young boys on the other side of that hill trying to kill me. i'm a young boy trying to kill them. what am i doing here. that's a dangerous thought. you start thinking like that and humanize the enemy, then you start having hesitations, and you start to realize maybe all of this is pointless. the moral dilemma dilemma is the thoughts that come afterwards. >> for the first five years he thought about that dilemma and drank. he moved in with his daughter in pen--he moved in with his dad in pennsylvania but felt alone and lost. >> i couldn't get a job in walmart, cleaning floors.

>> reporter: slowly he said he started to deal with his memories of war. >> you have to sort of be excited about it. or you would freeze up and died and you would be killed because that moment of hesitation could get you killed, or worse off, get your friends killed. >> reporter: what do you think about afghanistan as a country you left behind? >> i'll answer this truthfully. as i have answered everything, but i don't care about afghanistan. i hope they do well. i really do. i'm more concerned about my country. we're falling apart. civilian society needs to change. it's not the soldiers coming home. they got it figured out. they have the connections of what is humanity is really about, those deep human bonds of powerful things. we don't have that in society. we are a country of ice. what combat taught me is that

the best feeling you can ever feel in your entire life is in a group of we. >> there is a lot that we can learn from veterans. he said when he came back, he learned a lot speaking to other veterans of war. >> that's a strong statement. i have to think about that one. how is he doing now? >> as i said in the report he went through a very difficult time, but he's doing really well. he learned to cut trees, he's ann arborist. he learned that from the documentary maker sebastian younger, and he said he's happier than he has ever been before, saying life is beautiful. >> did you talk to sebastian as well? >> i did, and we'll be back at 6:00 of. >> coming up on al jazeera america. we'll take to you day two of world cup and the outpouring of complaints above the rest.

>> guns... >> there are two to three million guns in a population of only 8 million people. >> ...and gun laws... >> after those laws came in, there have been no more mass shootings... >> how different countries decide... >> their father had a gun... their grandfather had a gun... >> who has the right to bear arms? 5 days: guns around the world a primetime news special series all next week only on al jazeera america
