and discuss the political rhetoric of remember republicans like donald trump. >> donald trump is a clown. plus omar sharif. the egyptian born actor who became an international superstar, tonight a lack at his life, his roles and the path that he helped pave for others. ♪ ♪ ♪ we begin this hour with a shocking admission from one of the most powerful leaders in u.s. law enforcement, james connolly the director of the fbi says the bureau made a big mistake in its background check of accused charleston church shooter dylan roof. according to him roof should never have been cleared to purchase the gun he allegedly used to kill nine african americans. paul is here with more on this. paul. >> yeah, david this is a truly

remarkable admission by the director of the fbi saying essentially that the system failed. a background check that should have raised red flags did not so a loophole plus error are are are what allowed dylan roof to buy the gun he then used to murder nine people. >> does the defendant have a criminal history? >> the answer to that question is yes. dylan roof was arrested in columbia, south carolina in march. he was at this mall when some wormers complained that he was behaving suspiciously, police found him with a narcotic for which he did not have a precipitation, he was charged with trespassing and drug possession. on friday fbi director said that incidents should have prevented dylan roof from buying the handgun that he used to kill nine people at the emanuel ame church in south carolina last month. >> you are charged with nine count of murder. >> he says when roof went to buy

the gun a mandatory fbi background check failed to uncover the felony. his admission to possessing the drugs alone would have disqualified him from owning a handgun. the wrong arresting agency was listed in the records which also contributed to the failure. the fbi director blamed the mistake on a paperwork error. he told report these case rips all of our hearts out. but the thought that an error on our part is connected to a gun this person used to slaughter hess people is very painful to us. comey says he ordered a review of the procedures and his agents will meet with the families of the victim to his explain what went wrong in the deaths of their loved ones. >> now, because the fbi examiner who was looking at the application didn't have any reason to deny it, the purchase went through david, after a three-day waiting period. >> paul, thank you. the revelation about the background check flaw came on a historic day for south carolina.

the con federal flag that dylan roof loved and flew for decades on the ground of the state capital in columbia was lowered for the final time. courtney kealy joins us live with more. courtney. >> reporter: david, it was decades in the making, but it took moments for state troopers to take that flag down today. and it was a celebration here in the crowd. people brought their children. the cheering was so loud as it came down, and then people really seemed to know that they were making history. and clearly many made it clear too, that this was going to be a day in history for them and a very very special memory that they will always treasure. the confederate flag came down swiftly with the jubilant crowd cheering. and small pockets of protesters all coming out to witness the end of an era. >> that flag to me is just a punch in the face. it's saying -- it's holding up the confederacy.

>> as a young black man that's educated, you know, so it was just all sigh of relief. >> reporter: even the debates under the hot sun stayed relatively cool. >> i am happy to see it go down and i am happy to see the people's burdens on their minds freed. we have to understand that we are just beginning. >> i think they should left it up there it wasn't bothering anybody. >> it was bothering a lot of people. >> what you were bothered about is the hate that you symbolize with it. >> reporter: it took the massacre of nine blacks at a church in charleston to rei go nate the debate over removing the flag from the state house ground. but while south carolina has taken it down, many recognize that the symbol of the confederacy still flies elsewhere. >> they can have their flag up in their yard. or in on their truck or somewhere on their house property. but nowhere near the state house. >> it will be in a museum. that's where it ought to be. >> reporter: charleston mayor joseph riley said after the tragedy of the church shooting,

south carolina has now become a symbol of love and community. but a lot of work still needs to be done. >> it was a feeling of great happiness for the citizens of south carolina. people of every background and ethnicity, because it was a iewrch identifyingunifying thing the flag was divisive. it was a symbol of hate for many people and it's no longer in front of our public building. >> reporter: by the end of the afternoon the flagpole came down too. the last visual reminder of what had become a symbol of racism, pain and divisiveness to so many. and, david the crowd did remain calm today despite the fact that you had people on both sides. you had a lot of people wrapped in confederate flags but no real protests. a lot of respect on both sides. but many leaders here also tell me today that while it was an historic step, that many more

steps need to be taken nationwide. david. >> courtney kealy reporting live from columbia, is being, is thank you courtney. in new mexico the city of albuquerque has settled a lawsuit in a police shooting last year that sparked angry protests. james body was killed in a stand off with police officers, video showed body apparently surrendering and hold two knives when he was then shot. officials said body was schizophrenic and had not taken proper meditation the city has now agreed to pay body's family $5 million. last no two police officers involved in the shooting were charged with second degree murder. in greece tonight lawmakers are burning the midnight oil. it's early saturday morning in athens and members of parliament are still debating whether to approve a new austerity plan, the plan would inflict some more pain on the greek people but would help the country get more bailout money and stay in the european union simon mcgregor-wood reports from athens. >> reporter: i greek

government's proposal may have convinced some of its european creditors but selling it to the greek parliament was a tougher challenge. after all to many members of the governing coalition looks like something they had already rejected. it was a u-turn and the new finance minister admitted none of this would be easy. >> translator: we believe that if we reach this agreement it will be a difficult one. this is why there is no triumphantism after 61% of greeks voted no in the referendum. >> reporter: outside many thousands of greek who his had voted no to more austerity gathered yet again with a sense of betrayal and anger. >> translator: pensions will be reduced radically. they have already been cut. and when the state doesn't have anymore money, they will cut pensions even further. >> translator: what has happened now is a big mistake a huge one, the proposals they put forward are devastating. and the only realistic option is to leave the e.u. >> reporter: most of these people are dead against everything that has reappeared

in the latest proposal. indeed the latest proposal seems even more draconian than the last one. so the notion by voting no in the referendum these people would get a better deal from europe seems to have been a clear illusion. where else in europe the deal was received with cautious optimism. ahead of critical meetings of the euro group on saturday. in germany where it really matters, they are going to take some convincing. >> translator: it's the most substantial program that we have seen so far. we must acknowledge that. but there is a lot of scepticism over the question of how seriously it is met. >> reporter: on saturday in brussels the 19 finance ministers of the euro group will paw through every paragraph of the proposal. in athens, their verdict will be greeted with mixed emotions. simon mcgregor-wood. al jazerra, agent ends. >> the greek debt and bank crisis continues to have a profound impact on the greek people. patricia sob a ga sobga is in athens

and has this story. >> reporter: david these proposals bare a strikal resemblance to the bailout terms that prime minister tsipras and his forth were so staunchly against a week ago. this is trying fire from some quarters. united by a sense of we trail. throngs of demonstrators gathering outside the greek parliament on friday, voicing disappointment with government proposals that closely mirror bailout terms the majority of greeks rejected in a referendum less than a week ago. >> we have to demonstrate. we have to show them that these not -- it's not possible for us to go on like that. >> reporter: clothing shops and cafes are open, but customers are in short supply. with banks shuddered for the second week running and cash withdrawals curbed to about $67 a day few are in the mood for

spend. food is an a necessity that hasn't spared the vendors from the ravages of capital control. they are telling us since the banks closed and strict limits were placed on cash withdraws their business has fall over 60 to 70% and now many of them are wondering how much longer they can hang on. even these butchers have seen their sales cut to the bone. >> we have no business at all. >> reporter: butch works 12 hours a day he voted no in last weekend's referendum. but he's willing to give the government's latest proposals a chance provided the creditors treat the greek people with dignity. >> we are not beg as. we are not beg as. it's not a matter of food. it's not a matter of survival, yeah. we are human beings. >> reporter: prime minister tsipras in his speech m.p.s and to the nation urged them to accept the reform proposals in order to punt a threat of a

grexi it. behind the country and start moving toward growth. and believe me greece has a very, very deep hole to climb out of. david. >> patricia sob sobga reporting from athens. back in washington dc. head of the office of personnel management or o.p.m. has resigned. catherine archuleta stepped down today under immense pressure following two massive cyber attacks that breached her agency and exposed the personal information of 10s of millions of u.s. government workers. tom ackerman has the story. >> reporter: just a day after saying she wouldn't resign, the white house announced that catherine archuleta was stepping down effective immediately. >> she recognizes as does the white house that this requires a manager with a special set of skills and experiences. >> reporter: the move following disclosure that another cyber breach of her agency's database was far more swing than the first one revealed in april. in to him congress last month

archuleta blamed outdated technology for the inability to protect the information. >> we discovered these intrusions because of our increased efforts in the last 18 months to approve cyber security at o.p.m. not despite them. >> reporter: besides social security numbers the compromised data included current and former government employees answers to questions about drug use financial problems and contact with foreigners. and on wednesday fbi director james comey told the senate intelligence committee the impact could be even more widespread. >> it's not just my identity that's affected, it's, you know, i got siblings, five kids, all that have is in there. and so the numbers quickly grow far beyond the number of federal employees which is millions over the last 20 years. >> reporter: while homeland security secretary jay johnson says he couldn't identify the cyber attackers national intelligence director james clapper has called the leading suspect chinese.

at the same time, administration officials say there is no indication yet the information has been misuses. two federal labor unions have announced they are suing the government saying the o.p.m. violated their constitutional rights by failing to upgrade cyber security safeguards. they are also demanding the government pay for their lifetime credit and identity theft protection. tom ackerman, al jazerra washington. up next, a michigan cancer doctor beg today mercy today after admitted he gave chemotherapy to hundreds of patients who did not even need it. we will tell you about the doctor's punishment. and we will look back at the life of omar sharif, the dashing star of some of hollywood's most iconic films.

>> today a cancer doctor in michigan was sentenced to 45 years in prison for fraud. the doctor blooded guilty last

year -- pleaded guilty last year prosecutors say he gave chemotherapy to patients so he could collect their insurance money. court documents say he made more than $17 million. the judge called his tactics a huge and horrific series of lapse. the u.s. prosecutors spoke today about the victims . >> all of these patients who i imagine who did not have cancer who were at one point relieved to learn that they were cancer free, had still suffered in very serious consequences, the very serious side effects from chemotherapy, patients have organ damages patients have lost teeth. have nerve damage, serious damage for their immune systems lost bone in their sinus cavities. these are not side evenings that they will ever recover from. >> lisa stark has been following the story for months and joins us live in washington. you spoke today with some of the people victimized by this doctor. what was their reaction to the sentence?

>> reporter: david, what they are really hoping is that this amounts to a life sentence for this 50-year-old doctor, because they say that's what they are serving because of his miss treatment. in the doctor in court did breakdown, he said he was ashamed and sorry plead today mercy from the court. the patients i spoke with just aren't buying it. and they say no one who did what he did could have a conscience. this abandoned building in michigan was once part of a cancer empire. >> no, it was like an assembly line. >> reporter: run by well respected cancer specialist special dr. fada. >> he was the best. the best in town. >> reporter: patients put their lives in his hands. >> there were times when he called me his miracle patient. >> reporter: but the doctor was not we performing miracles he was committing fraud and harming hundreds possibly thousands of those who believed in him.

>> he wasn't looking at his patients as people. he was looking at his patients as profit certainty. whether it was by giving them more expensive drugs than they needed a drug they didn't need. diagnosing them with something they didn't have and treating them with very expensive drugs. >> reporter: chuck charter was referred to dr. fada for followup chi mo therapy after an operation for pancreatic cancer. >> i wasn't in thinking it was a precaution preventive. that it would probably be i thought at the time short term. >> reporter: what did it turn out to be? >> it turned on the to be five years. >> reporter: the boxes of medical records stacked in chuck's bedroom tell the story. infusion after infusion. it turns out, according to cancer specialistses specialists the correct treatment was if the five years of chemotherapy, it was six months. you wish you could toss these though huh? >> yes. i would like to have -- i would

like to have a bon fire. >> reporter: chuck and other patients were impressed by the doctor's credentials named a top doc in a local magazine, he did his initial training in lebanon and a fellowship at new york's prestigious sloan certing slone kettering staner is center. he built the large cancer practice in michigan. billing at seven clinics a diagnostic center and pharmacy. one of his 1700 patients was tracy's husband dave. >> i had we were married 15 years, we were together 25. we dated for got married. >> reporter: you wanted to make sure, huh? >> yes. and we were sure. >> reporter: david was a golf-loving, active 64-year-old when he was diagnosed with my low dysplastic syndrome, or m.d.s. arizona serious blood disorder that can leave to leukemia.

his internist recommended dr. fata who immediately began chemotherapy. >> he told me once he said god is walking with you and david and he's holding an umbrella. you are under god's umbrella. >> reporter: the government and dr. fata's patients say he used hope and fear to keep his patients in treatment. he put david on nonstop chemotherapy for years, even when david needed multiple surgeries for other health issues. dr. fata refused to stop. >> we asked to go off kimmo several times during the five years of the surgeries and dr. fata would tell us each time, that he would get leukemia if we stopped. and we believed him. >> reporter: a cancer specialist told al jazerra keep mo therapy shuts cease for weeks before and after surgeries, to allow a patient to heal. with no break from kimmo david's surgery wounds would not

heal. he ultimately lost both legs. david died less than three months ago from a brain tumor. >> do you think he cost david his life? >> yes, i do. he certainly helped kill him. and he caused him five years of unbelievable suffering. >> reporter: tracy and her family blame themselves for not second-guessing the doctor. but they also wonder why no one caught onto this scheme sooner. 1-6789s despite years of fraud and billing for chemo their at this far more than in ion cooling. it took a whistle blower from one of dr. fa it. ata's clinics to go to the fbi then alarm bells went off. the tip came in a friday in august of 2013, the fbi very manyscrambled on monday agents

interviewed eight clinic employees. on tuesday morning they arrested dr. fata. impressive speed for a government take down. but how did dr. fata slip by until then? what did he do to be able to get away with this for so long? >> he was the king of his practice and called him the king or called his practice the kingdom. he was. he ruled with an iron fist. he kept very close control over everything. and really didn't let anyone else see what he was actually doing. and that coupled with the fact that he was really dealing with frightened, vulnerable people. >> reporter: the government estimates dr. fata pleased medicare private insurance companies and patients of of 10s of millions of dollars his estate, including the family home, ceased by the government valued at more than $40 million. there is no way of calculating the human toll. >> you got your pills all set up for the day? >> reporter: yep all set up and ready to go.

chuck carter lives with kid any and bladder problems, severe numbness in his hands feet, and legs. he is now on permanent disability. >> i was betrayed. sorry. you know, i -- i trusted him. i trusted him with my life. >> reporter: a life now forever altered. and both chuck and tracy as well as a number of other victims have filed civil suits against dr. fata. some others in his practice as well as local hospitals and david, i have to tell you they were both so grace shuts and brave to share their stories with us. they are hoping, they said, that some good comes out of this, that maybe some changes will be made, something will be done to make it less likely that something like this would happen

again. >> lisa, as far as changes are concerned, doesn't the fata case show how easy it is to defraud the system? >> reporter: welt, i asked the justice department that and in fact they said it does show that in a way because if you have a doctor, any medical professional, but particularly a doctor who is really intent on did he foughting the system, you need a bad doctor and a patient number to bill medicare and that's all you need until you get caught. now, the government has set up medicare strike task forces they began that in 2007 to try to crack down on what is a huge problem, which is medicare fraud and they have arrested and charged more than a few thousand people that have billed medicare of about $7 billion. so there is an attempt to get at this but it's a massive problem. in this case, david, it wasn't just that the doctor was billing and not doing characters he was

giving patients care but it was the wrong care and in fact, it harmed so many people. hundreds of people. >> lisa stark reporting from washington. lisa, thank you. earlier we asked christopher freese an oncology nurse and assistants professor at the university school of michigan school of nurse big why it took so long to authorities to catch onto dr. fata's scheme. >> one of the problems that we have in cancer care is it's largely unregulated in the united states. up to 80% of cancer care is given in privately-owned clinics like dr. fatas most is delivered safely and effectively by doctors and nurse who his care about that i patients but the setup with the delayed reimbursement files that come back to us don't allow to us identify problems in an early manner and quite frankly doctors are very rarely questioned about their use of these drugs particularly in these very dangerous diseases that dr. fata treated. >> he says it's always a good idea to get a second opinion something that many cancer patients do not do. we want to bring you an

update on one of our top stories tonight out of agent ends, greece, you are looking live right now at the greek parliament in athens, we mentioned they were meeting through the night and in fact, the parliament has just passed a motion to allow the reform that they were considering tonight as the basis for negotiations with the e you feel. a number of crit irks a number of greek citizens have been bitterly complain this is proposal which passed tonight in the greek parliament looks awfully similar to the referendum that was reject ed in a nationwide vote in greece last weekend. but, again the parliament has passed a reform and so negotiations will continue with the european union. up next, we will take you to the georgia community where undocumented immigrants are thriving but also live in constants fear of deportation. and our own ali velshi is in teheran with reaction from the people of iran as another deadline in the nuclear talks has come and gone with no deal.

hello, everything, welcome to al jazerra america. a am david shuster in knock. just ahead. immigration battle. protests in a courtroom court down over the president's stalled executive order. the fate of millions of undocumented workers hangs in the balance. >> we are ready to take this all the way to the supreme court. triple overtime. the iran nuclear talks have been extended again as negotiators trade accusations instead of ideas s a deal dead with only a burial to come? reaction from at teheran. ticker tape poreda midst the women soccer celebrations in new york, we will look at whether the big win will help kick start the women's professional league in america. plus omar sharif. the life and legacy of a trail-blazing actor who became a hollywood legend.

in new orleans hundreds of protesters shutdown a main i want intersection to demonstrate for immigration rights aircraft few blocks away appeals court heard arguments on shielding 5 million people from deportation, robert raye joins us live with the latest. >> reporter: david, good evening. indeed it was a flurry of activity from behind me from the morning until late afternoon. now very quotas new orleans sinks in for the weekend as you said hundreds of people walking the streets around the federal courthouse earlier today. many people very peaceful. even those that were arrested the 14 people that sat in the middle of the street here were peace. that was a planned paying, the police knew it may occur, there was absolutely no violence at all. and the message from here today from these -- many of them undocumented and some documented

immigrants were that they want immigration reform in the united states. they are tired of deportations that break apart families. and they want action. we spoke with one of the big time community leaders here earlier today let's listen to what he had to say. >> it's not citizen shipment it's know at path to citizenship. it's just a working permit. this idea it's amnesty think it's not amnesty it's just a working permit that will last three years. >> reporter: as you just heard him say, it's not amnesty, it's not a path toward sit sen ship it's a work permit. that's something that we heard over and over from the people here today. but you know, there is another place in america that's talking about immigration at a deep level. they have been doing it for years, it's in the north georgia mountains, dalton, georgia to be exact. let's have a watch and listen at their struggle. jaime came to the u.s. with his parents from mexico when he was

three months old. >> i am a latino that has grown up eating tortilla and grits at the same time. i have learned from both cultures. >> reporter: but a latino activist in georgia is not a u.s. citizen, though el holds a work permit and a social security card thanks for qualifying for president obama's first executive action on immigration. >> here in the south we get this misconception that all the illegals are taking our jobs, the illegals here are not doing anything in favor, they are just, you know, they are bad for america. but the city of dalton has benefited from immigrants from all over, especially from mexico. >> reporter: immigration has changed the face of dalton, georgia. it's a small town in the north georgia mountains. in the 1990s thousands of people from mexico and central america flocked there work in the carpet mills. today the city calls this the carpet capital of the world. and there are nearly 50% latinos holding the population.

>> in my view, i think there is a chance the carpet industry could have moved out of the country years ago if they didn't get the labor force in here that they got. hello, jaime. >> reporter: republican mayor dennis mock and jaime rangel are working tote in dalton help bridge cultural grabs in their community of 30,000 people. >> we have over 90 nationalities represented in this community. and we have worked with all of tell. we continue to work with all of them and it's our obligation and it's our opportunity to assimilate them in to our culture and their culture in to ours and that's the direction we need to head. >> reporter: mayor mock says his town is in limbo as the back and forth continues over federal action on immigration. >> i know there are a lot of immigrants that would probably be more active in the community if they knew a clear direction and knew exactly what their rights were. and i think everybody just is waiting for the federal government to step up.

>> reporter: america came to the u.s. in the 1980s because there was little work in mexico. it took her 16 years to receive a permanent resident card. she thousand councils undocumented immigrants in dalton, where she says daily life can be a struggle. >> so many people come because of the same reasons they want to provide a better life for the children and for their families. and now they are escaping traffic and kidnappings and that is happening in mexico and central america. >> reporter: she has seen families ripped apart by deportation and says there there is a need for more latino leader snip local government here. >> we have a lot of people that we have. [ inaudible ] and we have even hosted children that are left without any parents. an example one week 11 children without any parents so we have seen it.

>> reporter: ironically dalton and its significant immigration population are in one of the 26 states that are suing president obama hoping to block his executive order that would allow nearly 5 million undocumented immigrants in the u.s. a reprieve from deportation. >> i know a lot of people who are just waiting by the tv or the radio, of anything that can come out. whatever happens i believe this should have been avoided. you know, and i blame the republicans and both the democrats. i blame president obama when he had power to pass immigration reform and he didn't. i blame the republicans because they are doing a lot of anti-immigrant talk and a lot of rhetoric. >> reporter: and while towns like dalton, georgia continue to wait for the politicians and courts, the undocumented immigrants here who drive the carpet industry worry that every time they step out the door, they can be taken away from their families and deported. >> you can't say that they are a problem. went to be part of the solution.

and i welcome those critics to come to dalton and see what we have done with the community that we have built. >> reporter: you know, it really is an amazing community. and a an unexpected community. georgia being the stayed that they are ruled by mostly republicans, or governed i should say. the mayor say republican, david and he hasn't taken any sort of criticism toward him from his fellow politicians arm the state state. the carpet industry is very important there and they have a great example of how a community with immigrants can come up and work, though there is a lot of work to be done as we watched. >> robert ray, thank you very much. joining us now from new orleans is congressman luis gutierrez democrat from illinois, congressman you and hundreds of other activists were there frosting the fifth circuit.

did you hear anything? have you gotten any reports from the hearing this morning that gives you any reason to be optimistic? >> yeah, the lawyer. the chief proponent for 26 republican governors and attorney generals, we don't object that the 4.2 million people can benefit of the president's executive order hey, we think the president can let them stay. what we object to is that they get a work permit. what we object to is that they get any benefits from their stay. i found that just incredible today. in other words, you can stay, and you can work, and you can pay taxes because we don't object to that, but you won't be protected. >> you described the argument from the proponents as incredible. did the judges find it incredible? what did you hear them say in reaction to that, a you want? >> you know what i heard ask a lot of questions.

you have to understand something, these are 26 republican governors and attorney generals they didn't go to the l.a. federal court didn't come to chicago or new york, they came to the fifth circus. they had a republican federal judge in texas. two of the three judges were republican judges today. and they made republican arguments. we argueing in a court setting all of the ugliness of our immigration debate. so, you know what, here is what i say we today have made it clear we are ready to take this all the what i to the supreme court. it & it may indeed, have to go there you can david. >> is it your sense that will be appealed for the full fifth circuit? you sound you are not optimistic that three-judge panel will not rule in your favor. the next step would be to appeal to the entire fifth circuit. >> yeah. look, here is what i know, that today we sent a resounding message throughout the nation, there are over 4 million

undocumented workers and we have said there are those that are on the side of bringing them out of the shadows having them go through the rigorous background check making sure that they have american sit sin children, making sure that they have been here five years and have roots in their community. there are those that think that is the way to move forward. and then there were the representatives the 26 republican attorney generals said they can stay just can't get a work permit. and so what i think today really means is that we will appeal the case whenever it goes. we will education our community -- >> congress congressman as you know donald trump that injectedded a certain energy over the last couple of weeks because of his hyperbolic statements about latinos. do you the conversation politically starting to cut differently now given such a high profile republican would make those remarks and is that in some fashion perhaps helping you put this issue in front of so many americans? >> look, donald trump he's a clown. but he's their clown.

and he is spewing ugly, racist comments about the immigrant community and about mexicans in particular. but listen, i get it. when donald trump says mexicans, he means puerto rican dominican venezuelan he means all immigrants in the countries rich. and i assure that's the offense that the vast majority of the hispanic community take. they are moving further and further away from ever obtaining the white house again with these kind of vitt recipients olic comments that go under controlled and uncondemned by their own party. today we have the lawyers for the president of the united states saying the way forward is to allow those that have been here and established roots in the country that will go through a become ground check to be able to be free from deportation until the congress of the united states does its job. donald trump he's going to be in the debates in the remember cane party that's their

problem, he's fox news' problem they are the ones that are promoting him. but i am yelling going to tell you something, donald trump zip a voter registration machine for the democratic party and for the latino community every time he opens his mouth people register to vote and it's guaranteed that they will vote next november 2016, it will be -- let me make a prediction to you david, it will be an early night next november 20 section 16 2016 for the recognize can party as the states gain cast their electoral ballots for president of the united states. >> luis gare tear he is from illinois thanks fox with us, we appreciate it. >> thank you. for the second time this week negotiators meeting in vienna, austria missed a self imposed deadline to hammer out an agreement over iran's approximate nuclear program. congressman john kerry says progress has been made. early we are he spoke to ali velshi in teheran and asked him about the mood of iranians whether & whether they are

confident. >> reporter: iranians have said all among these are not their deadlines this started for them back in 2013 the election of president rouhani succeeded the president, and a lot of people think the president set the mood back, his p.r. was hard for the rest of the world to swallow. rouhani came in saying he would open up to the west, saying he wouldn't waste hutch time doing so. iran has lived under the sanctions for a long time, but the most serious of the sanctions were the banking sanction ofsanctions that didn't allow iranian businesses to transfer money electronically outside the country, this is a cash economy now, they want them lifted and lifted fast. they would like it to end but they have learned to live with them. if it takes long are so be it. again, this is the middle east, david, it doesn't operate at american speed. this concept of deadline, things are done people are consulted. there is definitely optimism that there will be a deal.

but there are a lot of hard liners who say that if there is a deal, this is the he wants of the road for them. so protests are gearing up, the hard liners are getting a little louder the conservatives are getting their voices heard a little bit more. but most iranians i have spoken to and i have spoken to a lot in the last two weeks are optimistic and they are hopeful. david. >> even as the united states and iran sit across from each other at the negotiating table in vienna the two countries have been at odds for decades, you have been on the ground there for a couple of weeks, do you get the sense and perhaps that americans may be misjudge how deep-seated some of the anti-american sentiment has been in iran and continues to be in that country. >> reporter: it's a strange relationship from the iranian perspective. iranians always liked america america represented the country that wasn't britain. britain had really fleeced this country in the opinion of iranians and in the opinion of most people actually. britain discovered oil in iran, and cut a deal with the iranians we'll billed the inning free structure, brill it, produce it,

we'll do everything and you get 16% of the profits. overtime they believed the britains weren't being honest about how much oil was produced there were years in the late 40s where iran was getting a check for $4 million, $7 million a year and britain was making out with all of this money that they had gotten. the brits didn't like the fact that the iranians wanted more mountain the venezuelans cut a deal to get 50% of the point. saudi arabia januaries got 50%. iran got stuck with the 16% that probably wasn't 16% america looked like the fair country and the country they wanted to be. but in 1950 a prime minister was elect odd the idea of national icing this oil company giving iranians what they thought they were due. within three years of his election the cia had that prime minister deposed at the behest of the british and that lived in the mind of iranians about america. america stole the best chance that they had for democracy.

that will stake time to heal. since 1979 necessary two countries have hading in productive to do with each other. there is a lot of work to do. a lot of mistrust, miss concepts on both sides. evening if a deal is done that is only going to be the very beginning of beginning a relationship between these two countries, that one could be very fruitful. >> ali velshi reporting from teheran. one of the world's most fame us and debonair actors have died. omar sharif suffered a heart attack this morning in cairo. he was 83. jennifer london looks back at an international icon. >> reporter: few movie lovers can forget the first time omar sharif appeared on hollywood's big screen. >> this is my well. >> reporter: it was sharif's role in the 1962 swing epic "laurence of arabia" that turned the each description born actor in to an international leading man and one of holland whoops' most sought after stars. it also earned him an oscar nomination and a golden globe

nwsl doesn't include national team players who are scattered equally between the teams. they are paid by the u.s. soccer federation the sports organizing body in this country mexico and canada do the same. we asked u.s. soccer for those salary figures but were turned down. the challenge is clear. take this energy and support for the national team on the big stage and somehow turn it in to spectators in the stadium and cash in the till on the local level. the thorns in portland oregon have shown it can happen. they bring in more than 13,000 fans a game. more than triple the league average. >> it's going take a while. i view this as a decade-long project, so we are three years in i fully expect to see year 10. >> and what can the players do? >> keep doing what we are doing keep within, that never hurts. >> seattle is hoping to fill the seats for the first time this saturday to ride that world cup win in to the first sell out of the season.
