this is al jazeera america. coming up this hour. >> oil spill settlement, b.p.'s deal with the government, it is the large nest corporate history for one of the costliest environmental disasters ever. a financial moment down across the island, and they are growing in the u.s. mainland. babbish battle. >> they are trying to divide us, tear us apart.

>> beyond the south carolina capitol should the con fed rate flag be taken down across america? plus handle with care, we will introduce you to the man behind the massey's 4th of july fireworks. he reveals how he makes those rockets red glare. we begin this hour with the largest environmental settlement in u.s. history. today b.p. reach add settlement with five u.s. states and agreed to pay a total of $18 billion. but the debate is still raging about the deep water spill and the true cost of the devastation, the summer of 2010 the crude gushed into the sea for 87 days and goal

l deal with the government is being call add landmark, we will take a closer look at the agreement, and the question of accountability but first jonathon martin joins us live with the latest, jonathon. >> good evening to you david that $18 billion settlement certainly an enormous number, much more than b.p. wanted to pay, but when broken down it is a fraction of what the company could have paid. five years after the worst oil spill b.p. is hoping to end a lengthy court fight. the company has agreed to a massive $18.7 billion settlement. they are just wants to move on and put this behind them, and i think it is probably their goals. >> under the arrangement louisiana gets what we need which is coastal restoration and commence rate

compensation. louisiana attorney's general called the move amazing and her toysic. five gulf states, mississippi, alabama florida, texas and los angeles will receive payouts. lose san is that. >> the direct impacts and the environment louisiana bore the brunt of that. >> the settlement, which still has to be approved includes more than $7 billion for damage to natural resources. more than $5 billion for violating the clean water act, and close to fives with for state's economic losses the spill sent some 3 million barrels of oil into the gulf, ruining wild life, marshes. because it had already spent billions on response, clean up and settlement. >> it is a lot of money. >> but eric smith of tulane university, says it is in b.p.'s best interest to settle now, and pay for the fines over an 18 year period instead of waiting for a judge to impose the fines. >> b.p.'s standpoint it's a

lot easier to take out $1 billion or so a year than it is to take out 18 billion-dollars in one year or $42 million if you take the maximum it could have been. >> b.p.'s chairman release add statement says with this agreement we provide a path to closure for b.p. and the gulf, it resolves the company's largest remain league exposures provides clarity, and creates certainty of payment. i think that b.p. got a good deal, yes. >> matt rhoda with the gulf profit restoration project says they should pay now but for now he says it is best for the region. >> if the money starts coming out that we can use to restore the coast that's less dam that we with have to repair in the future, so money now is worth more than money in ten years after a big long legal battle.

>> and so again a judge is expected to approve this, once that happened b.p. will be able to move forward, this is the thing that has been hanging over them for years so they are expected to move forward, but it is important to point out that despite this money they still face millions more in individual claims those are from people who are in the area and the region, business who is felt they were impacted by the spill the deadline was a few weeks ago so in addition to the 18 billion evers b. p. faces million more. >> reporting live from new orleans, thank you lose san is that state senator represents the state's first district which includes the southeast coastal areas hardest hit louisiana will get $6.8 billion evers in this, is that enough. >> where does the money go. >> obviously i believe it is not enough.

think it it needs to be understood and heard the long term impact and the health of citizens here, not just in lose a saleh but along the coast needs to be considered. i know there was efforts about ayesessing health issues but this major component, allows by not being there allows for a huge amount of expose sure for the health of people not be accounted for in the years to come. >> you are saying the clean up of the pollution to keep it beautiful, what are your own constituents saying about the lack of money that may be going towards long term healthcare they may need? my senate district, the south eastern corner of the state of louisiana was the epicenter of this. following hurricane katrina. so our pokes have been through a tremendous amount of experiences and lifetime

negative impacts all over the last ten years. and what we are hearing is what we have been hearing from the first day that we went with down there to look and see what was happening and we were seeing people sick from the very beginning. and we know from history in valdez, for instance, that many many years of long term negative health effects were documented and i am aggrade that if we don't address this we are going to mick a tremendous opportunity. to study two. to look at the long term effects because it's not been me. >> that essentially cause it is oil to be submerged are you in the camp that has now

caused additional problems the ever the area, and how much blame does e.m.a. have for that. >> there is no question, i am not a scientist or a doctor, but i read and understand that the long term effects are the strategies used to drop the oil using say corrected for example serve a purpose of getting it down below the surface, but so much of it did reach the shore, and i think the fact that me had already spent millions in louisiana addressing the coastal erosion, this strategy of using as opposed to a nontoxic technology that is clearly out there and available was used is continued to be used today is concerned to a lot of people, it compounds the situation here is the real problem the real problem is that as it works it's way toward the shore, into the marshes the areas we are trying to preserve, and bring back, well this because it is

dropped it has washed entomb the root system, so now we have an acceleration of coastal erosion as a result of this strategy. again still today is the protocol, and it has to be stopped. >> represents the state's first district, thank you for being with us. >> good to be here. >> there is more evidence now detailing the u.s. national security agency alleged spying on germany, the antisecrecy group has just published documents that show german chancellor was not the only german official they spied on. libby casey is in washington with the latest on that libby. >> david this latest release. the various officials in the german government. the contents of a went 11 phone call and one of her staffers about the euro zone crisis.

so this is definitely dealing a blow to u.s. german relations what is the response in all of this? >> the state department spokesman john kirby wouldn't comment today on the veracity of these wickky leak allegations. he did however empathize the relationship with germany, and said there is no intention to strain or damage that relationship. it is certainly our hope, nothing, regardless of whether it is these documents or anything else, and that if nothing gets in the way of the strong cooperation partnership, and friendship we enjoy with the german people.

it is not u.s. policy whether they are ordinary citizens or world leaders david unless there's what he called a specific and validated national security purpose. this is didn't first time the u.s. oon defensive on allegations of spying two weeks ago had been monitoring her phone calls phone calls that prompted president obama at the time to say the u.s. isn't spying on it's friends but there certainly has been questioned about past behavior. now, wickky leaks has been making headlines this summer, just last month they released documents alleging that the nsa has spied on the french president vance somewhat oland. today that greece in order to stabilize it's economy will need an additional $55 billion over the next

three years this sunday greek went to the polls to decide whether to accept a bail out deal. until then, life for residents has become increasingly difficult. reports from@thens. leaving people struggling so meet their daily needs. cash is king, and it's never been so scarce. there are a lot of people here, the fish seller explains but few are buying. they can't afford to. >> what do they want? why have they closed the banks in they shouldn't have closed because we are in europe, europe is one, and without greece there is no europe. >> day by day the news isn't good from bad to worse to truly terrified the headline here are talking about the

possibility losing between 27 and 55 of the money you hold in the bank in a diminishing economy and country. even the news papeser getting stronger. could this be the answer to greece's problems it is the country's first bit coin machine. with some 150 new registrations each day this week, the virtual currency is being seen by some as a safe haven for their money, out of the banks and beyond the reach of the country's creditors. >> it is something very new in greece, but i believe that because it exists in transactions are made all the around the world that it is something stable, and i believe it may catch on here. yes to a future free of bank

cues inside the european union. the choice seems clear but the politics are not. at a bus stop, there are angry words. the politician are all corrupt, says this man fascist shouts another. >> i am desperate, i have had enough. they are all dirty all of them. particular anger is aimed at the politician oif euro zone. the architects of austerity. he has drunk your blood for five years the message on sunday for germany's finance minister could be no more. the headline tonight is that there is still no deal, however, diplomates from iran and six world powers say there has been progress. ahead of the international energy is in teheran talking about the possible inspection regime for nuclear facilities. james bays has the latest on

the talks from vienna. >> in a break in the intense negotiations the iranian foreign minister appeared on the balcony of the luxury hotel, once a palace where the talks are being held. >> are you confident you can get a steal. >> i have to be hopeful where his words. foreign ministers negotiating with iran headed back to vienna, all had a similar message. >> i don't think we are in any kind of break through moment yet but the work is continuing we will do whatever we need to do to keep the momentum. >> moving forward we aren't there yet, but we are moving forward. it has gone well. >> but with the agreement with iran extended and now due to expire on the 7th of july next tuesday perhaps the most telling comment came from china's foreign minister.

request you get a deal before the 7th you think. >> i think there is a high possibility, but i need to conduct with my colleagues. >> western diplomates say they are hopeful they can get a deal before the 7th of july however, one senior official said such deadlines are artificial, he said they would with continue to negotiate, until they had a good deal. up next, we will take you to the u.s. territory of puerto rico a debt crisis having a devastating impact on the eyewitness news land's residents. there's been yet another shark attack, our team will explain why the numbers are way up.

>> several weeks have been calling the u.s. commonwealth america's greece. the ioland territory has too

much debt that it can not pay. puerto rico just avoided add default by making a bond payment, but it was tiny compared to 70 billion-dollars in debt and the dire financial situation is having an impact most prominently on the poor. robert bay is live with us were the latest, robert. >> the governor here of puerto rico said that the debt was unpayable. well, today this evening he backtracked on those comments, he talked to a gaggle a few hours ago and said that you know, he wants creditors to really buckle down and help them try to pay down this debt. he feels that that's their obligation since the money was lent to puerto rico, knowing that puerto rico was already in a deficit. so a real backtrack by the governor here, on thursday, and probably feeling some heat from the other politician here. some of the mayors that met with him yesterday that we spoke with. you know in the meantime, the

average citizen, they are on their second day of paying 11.5% in sales tax that's the highest sales tax in all of the united states. in port rick co's capitol tourists bask in the caribbean sun, rome the beautiful streets and enjoy what appears to be the easy life. except. >> we have a weakening economy. and we have a fiscal challenge, very significant fiscal challenge. >> just a day after the government made a $1 billion loan payment, the residents live in the hard reality of a u.s. territory that is billions in debt. with little opportunity. now clearly the $70 billion a major problem. but what about the short term? this is a former apartment of someone who lived here, it is a house project, and if you

look out here, thousands of people lived in the spaling housing project, now it is completely abandoned and some economists say that's one of the major problems. they call eight well with fair state if you think this is bad just go five miles down the road, and old san juan and you will see the second largest house project in the united states. >> according to the latest census, more than 80,000 people live here, this is one example of extreme poverty here. and scenes like this are becoming more common as the economy continues to sink. >> we have around 40 to 45% of the population that received any kind of aid from the federal government. $2 b says government assistance is limiting growth. and he says, it's only gotten worse with since the u.s. terminate add federal tax

break 12 years ago that has drawn manufacturers to the island. >> this is not sustainable. that we need to go over the relationship that we with have for a century and to think about new strategies and we have to work together. this is too complicated for puerto rico only. >> to understand the challenges we visited the unemployment offices. >> i have been working for 39 years. i was let got in desks since then, i have been given resumes to different people looking for a job. but i keep always getting the same answer, they will get back to me, but they never do. >> cynthia is a single mother who has been searching for a job for more than a year. >> i think i will go to

florida. >> cynthia is not alone thousands are leaving the island for the mainland. this exodus has been going on for years but leaving puerto rico for a better life elsewhere, is about to get even more popular since gause tab bow. >> and while thousands of puerto ricans plan to leave this summer, the government has until the end of august to come one an economic restructuring plan that can save the island, from a default. you know david if we look at this here that's been going on for definitely about the past decade, and it is about to get even worse, according to all the experts we have talked to even the borough president of the bronx where you are at in new york city, came out and said today that he is worried that this influx there's already

300,000 of them right now the more they come he is worries this will exasperate services that they won't be able to take care of these people also the same thing with the city of orlando, they are also concerned but don't let the pretty beaches and the beautiful san juan fool you here, these people are in desperate need, and the government certainly needs the u.s. government up north in washington, d.c., to get it together and work with them. >> robert ray reporting live, robert, thank you. the on going u.s. trade embargo on cuba through the years has made it tough for americans to travel to that nation but some of those restrictions have now been lifted and airline and companies want with to make it even easier for tourist to travel between the united states and cuba, melissa chan joins us live, is there much interest in traveling to cuba right now with the

developments going on. >> it is a very divided city, but at least with the people that we approached there was caution interest. i definitely would. i have always wanted to go because it is so close i love the caribbean, it is putting aside the political issues, and those get worked out, i think it would be a wonderful opportunity to open the dialog and go and visit and do something new. >> best recommendationky give to take advantage of one that opens and be able to see a place as beautiful as cuba, there's a lot of infrastructure, and basically the development of cuba that brings new business opportunities too i think in the tourist way it will help the economy but also bring something very very big in general. >> that's very interesting point to be making there's so much focus during this process is in

terms of american tourists and their impact on cuba, the general impact on cuba, that we forget that it is a two way street. cuba is also going to have an imimpact on the united states, and especially here in miami david. >> for folk whose want to travel in between the united states and cuba, how long will it take to get the ferry services up and running? by the end of the year, you will get ferry service that will take people to havana. we would like to have the ferry operating at least three days a week automobiles, when they are allowed. >> exciting times ahead there's a lot to do, but we have made a lot of progress, we are confident we are one of the better opportunities out there to be able to deal with. and we are looking forward to the challenges.

and you know, just a quick point to clarify tourism that hasn't been figured out quite yet, it isn't quite above board for now the ferry services are likely in the initial period to offer their services to cuban americans who can go to the island. and that's going to be happening before the end of the year, we hope. >> reporting from miami thank you. >> former virginia u.s. senator jim web today formally entered the race he notified supporters by email that he is running and becomes the fifth presidential candidate in the democratic field, web fought in the vietnam war served as secretary of the navy, and has been a outspoken critic of southern foreign policies and mitt tear central joys. he says he will focus his campaign on criminal justice reform and rebuilding the economy for america's middle class. up next, transgender

children, born a boy, she says she has been sure she was a girl since age six tonight we hear her story plus. >> american kids turning into human smugglers. this texas middle school, ripe recruiting grounds for the cartel.

>> makes me want with to get up and do this again. >> we will take you massey's display. >> at the texas mexico boarder, but now authorities say the smugglers are getting younger and younger. hide dejoe castro looks at 115-year-old american that ended up killing nine people he was trying to transport. >> on a dark night, two months before middle school graduation, a ride that would end nine lives. and detour an 8th grade tore 20 years in prison.

you were 15 did you know how to drive. >> not really. >> had you ever driven before then. >> no. >> without a learner's permit much less a driver's license, he was behind the wheel. behind him in the van 16 undocumented immigrants who had crossed the rio grand. some of the ground. >> yeah, some on the ground. most of them were on the floor. >> it was 2012, and momentum was building toward a wave of migrants that would flood across the southern border. a human smuggling ring has recruited junior, a quiet american 8th grader no criminal record, to drive the migrants deeper into the country. i just wanted to help them out. so. >> you just thought you could drive them and no one would

realize what you were doing. >> the swerving van made it less than two miles before it was spotted an agent signals for him to stop, and the teen panics. flooring the gas. i just grabbed the wheel, and hung on. >> he lost control on this frontage road, the van rolled multiple times this was the after math. the nine people, they blew out of the van. >> those nine would die. the others were detained and junior escaped. >> did you look back to see what happened. >> not really. >> why not. >>ives scared. i was scared. i just ran. >> it didn't take long for police to find him. and to unravel the mystery of how a 15-year-old has become a human smuggler.

>> i was the one who detains junior. >> he says junior is a prominent example of mexican cartels targeting american teens for recruitment, a practice that exploits a weakness in federal law because it is a federal crime, and the burden to charge minors in federal court is high, the vast majority of smugglers go unprosecuted. the cartel use neighborhood gangs to sell the message to teens if you are caught, nothing will happen to you and you can even come right back to work for us. >> do you know how much he was going to be paid. >> $500. >> that's what he told us. >> what was he going to do with the money. >> buy clothes. he wanted to not be that kid

that that department have name brand clothes. >> i just thought it would be easy. >> easy money. >> junior lived in this neighborhood in the texas rio grand valley, hundreds like it dot this side of the border. >> his parents and ten american born sibling still live nearby, both mom and dad are undocumented. the father makes less than minimum wage. >> his mother says life is difficult, sometimes the family struggles to eat. >> we have kids that come to school, because that is probably the only time they will get a meal. >> the police chief said it was junior's brother who smuggled immigrants first. they caught him in the act but never arrested him. >> don't do it again. >> because he was young. >> right because he was not

of age to go to prison. so junior didn't feel this -- that it was a big deal according to the police chief, the brother introduced him to the smuggling organization, but was not involved. they had not been prosecuting to this day. >> how does someone mixed up in this find an 8th grader. it just doesn't make sense to me. >> he says it was an older friend who recruited him why didn't he just do it. >> i don't know. probably because he was going to get more in trouble than me. >> because he would have been sentenced as an adult. >> yeah. >> did they tell you that, hey you should do this and you are young. >> no, because people died in junior's wreck, the state can move forward p manslaughter

charged. he was tried as an adult and sentenced to 20 years. but police fear for the many peers he leaves behind, young teen whose believe their juvenile status will shield them from trouble. >> and richard's middle school sits three-miles from the border, it is a battleground cartels and police compete. >> kids are coming to school, and they wont to recruit others to join the games and they are telling them look, we promise you will have money, and drugs and sex. >> junior's mother says if she had known of her son's plan she would have tried to talk him out of it she can't visit him because of her undocumented status. i ask if she feared he err maining children will also be tempted, she says no, because they see where their brother is now. junior has 17 years left on his sentence.

so is when you think about those nine people now, do you feel like their souls are on your conscience. >> they are. i do think about that, it is hard to forget. >> what do you say to the other kids out there maybe from your town who are faced with that same question. to do this or not. >> to think twice before they do it do you think some of them will still say yes. >> there's a 50/50 chance. >> may will say yes. >> heidi joe castro, al jazeera, mission texas. >> there is more fall out today over the con fed rate battle flag, nascar is now asking fans not to display it at races and a u.s. cable

television network has dropped reruns of the television show the dukes of hazard. but some defenders of the flag and the 70's t.v. show are crying foul. when it is race day all eyes are usually on the checkers flag. but these days the focus is on the con fed rate flag. which has long been a common sight in the vast crowds of nascar fans. pictures of the suspect in the church massacre have sparked a fire stone of debate over the flag. and on thursday, nascar's major tracks issued a statement asking fans to please not display it we with will asking our fans and partners to joins us in a renewed effort to create an all inclusive even more welcoming atmosphere for all who attend our events this will include the request to refrain from displaying the con fed rate flag at our pa silties and nascar events.

it is the latest sign so of a flag falling out of favor. >> wal-mart, zeros ebay and amazon, all stopped selling flag merchandise. >> it's time to move the flag from the capitol grounds. >> and the governor of south carolina wants it off state house grounds. still it has defenders. ben jones and is a former congressman. >> they are trying to divide us, and tear us apart about a symbol that's honored national symbol. so it is our right to say what we think. >> last week nascar reiterated that it is banned

from official. nascar and southern heritage are interpret woven. what is now an offensive symbol to many, has been along for the ride. there is a nascar race on sunday, in daytona florida it is the first one in the south, since is the shootings in carlton, and the international speed way where the race is being held is holding a flag exchange, where fans can trade any flag, for an american one. joining us from new orleans is pastor rc blake jr., he overseas the new home ministry, i have to ask you the pulling of the dukes of what are saturday, a show that a lot of fans say has never had a racist theme, and that the con fed rate flag stood for rebellion what do you make of the decision to pull this t.v. show. >> well, i agree i never felt the show never had any racist

bent in it, but i have to applaud the efforts to bring about reconciliation, in this country. i think that the recent events have shown us that we are not a post racial society. and everybody in any position of power and influence has the responsibility to make small and even great effort towards bringing the races together and i shut the flag, and everyone would have to agree that the flag does represent a lot of pain for a lot of people. >> absolutely, when reconciliation gets extended to going after television shows things that are not racist, does there comment a point, at which that starts to diminish the significance of real racism and hatred. >> you know i have to agree with that, because the flag, the issues that we are discussing relative to the flag, are really just the tip of the ice burg. the flag is a covert symbol.

and i believe that an overt symbol rather, and i believe the problem in american, is that racist has been covert, it has been hidden within symbolism, and language, i think even the president a few days ago a couple of weeks ago, with his strategic use of the n word, brought forth the -- he made reference to how racism is not just what we say publicly, but it is our sentiments privately, to dealing with me for the flag is the band aid, there are issues that are far more significant. >> how do we transition from all the oxygen that the flag debate seems to be sucking up, how do we transition to that to getting the deeper more fundamental issues that so many of us want to talk about. >> i think we are doing it right now, i think leaders and media, preachers and politician and teachers we

have to have this discussion. we have to have this conversation. in mebos we with have lived under this mist, if you will, that we are in a post racial society, and there is a segment in our society that is yet fewing racism, and is yet promoting a railist agenda. >> you can understand how a lot of americans would think that having an on going discussion about something like the dukes of hazard doesn't really take us there. >> i can see that, i can see that, and for me personally, for me personally, there are deeper issues that i'd like to discuss. but then there's a larger society and we with don't know how this symbolism impacts them emotionally so applaud the effort. >> a passion tor and teach we the new home family of churches so good of you to join us tonight we appreciate you coming on the program. >> thank you for having me. >> you are welcome summer is

here and along one of the most popular coastline, the sharks is happens with bad. officials now say there's been a record number of shark attacks that is the highest annual rate in 80 years. phil torres joins us now with the latest on this, phil. >> hi, david we talked to biology john carlson that says it looks like the tiger shark is to blame for some of these, be uh the question remains why is this happening. it looks like water and weather may have effected the food supply, one thing that emphasize is this is out of the ordinary, i got to spend a week with a team of tiger shark researchers. sharks are mice, and the world doesn't know this. >> jim loves sharks and he wants you to love them too.

that's one of the reasons he became a pioneer, in cage free shark diving offering people the chance to encounter them up close in the wild. >> it is up to those of thaws have that ability that really know what is going on to project them the way they need to be projected so what we with protect what we love. >> what myths are you trying to disspell. >> i wish we with could put a stop to the monster shark thing. dogs in america bite something every 40 seconds but we don't have dog week, do we, in florida we with have a dozen fatalities from vending machines but we with don't have vending machine week. he shot most of the video you see here, you were bitten a couple of years ago by a shark, are you ever concerned about your safety. >> no not at all the shark that bit me, happened while i was tending to the bait, so

hundreds of pounds of bait in my hands in rough seas it bit me in the right arm and released me, so this further proved to me that sharks don't eat people, the only way they are going to bite someone, is a case of mistaken identity. >> oh my gosh, check this out. >> so if you aren willing carefully you would heard that researcher say turtle beak that's an important clue, because sharks love to eat turtles. now according to our sources now is turtle breeding season, so there are turtles there, sharks are probably going after them, and humans unfortunately, getting in the way phil so interesting thank you for joining us. techno airs monday right here on al jazeera america. two years ago we met an 11-year-old transgender girl,

she is now 13 and starting female hormonotherapy. tonya has more on what she was going through as she enters her teenager years. she still identified as a guile, even though she was born a boy. >> for me it is a real six, that you're mind, and your body don't match. >> zoe began expressing herself as a girl at age six she changed her name from ian at 9. a decision she described as a no brainer. >> because this is not a choice for you on whether to be a girl or a boy. >> no, it is not a choice. you are making a choice to be different gender, then you are not really tran.

>> but there is one thing that has changed for the last year and a half, zoe has been on puke bearty blockers medicine implanted in her arm that suppress it is development of an adam das apple facial hair and prevents choice changes and in the next few months zoe, with thelessing of her mother will take the step of cross sex hormonotherapy. and zoe's case that means estrogen. >> i mean, for most people, i mean puke bearty happens there's no choice that they are making, it just happens. so why shouldn't it just happen for me. >> the argument you are 13, how do you know what you want in life, how do you know who you are yet? how would i know what i want if i am 20 how is that different. >> what are some of your anxieties about taking that step. >> she needs to give up her fertility.

which is a big thing for a mom to consider. >> there is no law prohibiting minors from cross hormonotherapy, but many doctors still refuse to do it and many inshushers refuse to before 18, guidance from the endo christian society the oldest and largest society devoted to research on hormones says it can be safe defective but only starting at age 16. i think that the decision is so much an individual person. jobbing it makes sense to have an arbitrary age when people are so unique and their paths are so different. >> zoe says she has never been bullied and she has the full support but she nevers others struggle, according to the washington state youth suicide program more than 50% of transgender youth will have made at least one suicide attempt by their 20th birthday.

i don't know if i will improve my life, but at leastly be going through the parts that i can, so that will be great. >> while her resolve is strong, the focus is less on what will happen in the months to come, and more on what is happening right now. like spending a week with others at and quer rock camp. often it is he, sometimes it is they, for zoe she says it has and will continue to be she. tonya al jazeera seattle. >> failure to reach a deal can spell disaster, antonia is here with more on that. >> many of our viewers will remember former u.n. chief

weapons instructor, who spars with osama binspar he tells me there is nor positive signs than negative, but also says the stakes are too high for iran or the p five plus one to walk away, and that the best way to stop countries from building nuclear weapons lies in diplomacy. >> can anyone be prevented from doing -- from acquiring them if they know how to build them? the answer is no. and that's a fact. can circumstances be established agreement among nations that make it unbalanced far more sensible, not to do this than to do it, and the answer is yes.

we will be right back after this.
