>> what do we want? >> al jazeera america's hard-hitting... >> today the will be arrested. >> ground-breaking... >> they're firing canisters of gas at us. >> emmy award-winning, investigative series. >> we have to get out of here. >> this is aljazeera america live from new york city. i'm erica pitzi. voting on the bailout conditions of the rescue package. [ explosions ] defending the deal, president obama tells sceptics deal will make it safer. el chapo's escape.

the prison breakout. well the greek parliament vote yes? now, there was heated debate in the greek parliament on whether or not to pass the latest bailout bill. they will receive $94 billion from the euro zone lenders, but in return, there will be harsh austerity measures, including tax hikes and pension cuts. the speaker just finished addressing parliament. and he acknowledged the austerity measures are harsh but he has no choice but to accept them. violate protests as people displayed their anger over the bill. let's bring in patricia now from athens, and patricia, what's the latest? you have a deal, it sounds like? >> that's right and there are

enough votes to actually push these measures through. and the lawmakers are stale weighing in and still casting but it looks like the prime minister has enough votes to push through these very harsh economic reforms that basically european creditors are demanding in order to carry the bailout forward. talks on the bailout package worth $95 billion. he was 'passionate saying that they fought the good fight for the last six months, and he accepts any responsibility for the mistakes made. but i doesn't want to put the country through default. and basically the choice of two evils. passions are running very high this evening, and outside of the parliament building, those passions boiled over. >> molotov cocktails hurled at

the greek parliament. more punishing than the voters here overwhelmingly rejected just a week and a half ago. [ explosions ] european creditors went forward on negotiations, in a bailout worth $95 billion. before the vote, mp, karacosta told aljazeera why she would back austerity measures that she and her party oppose on principle. >> this vote is not from our hearts, i'm certain of that, but for political reasons, this is what we have to do today to allow greece to remain standing. >> this person is is holding up a sign that says, i'm afraid offing starvation.

more toward the financial edge, to risk collapsing the greek economy. a proposition that has jen sympathy. >> they won't let him do what he wants but if he's given a chance to stay in office for three years free to do what he wants, he will change the country. a chance that so far you were's leaders have been unwilling to grant and the greek people may run out of patience to give. >> so again enough votes in parliament tonight to push through these very coral very unpopular, very tough austerity reforms. and it's interesting to note erica, that the very controversial former finance minister that caused so much friction with the europeans the former -minister who said that he would wear the credit's

loathing with pride. he voted no tonight. >> so will this rescue the greek economy should. >> well, the imf weighed in yesterday. and their answer was basically no. in a memo they said, really, european leaders have to get real about how unsustainable aboutgreek's debt. and it's a deep haircut now and immediately. and that means forgiving a big portion of the debt immediately. or extending the break period out 30 years for when greece has to pay down the interest and the principle. and that would take that window out to 2053. erica? >> all right patricia, live for us in athens. the chairman of european politics at rutgers university, and he joins us in philadelphia. dan, thank you for joining us, so moments ago the greek

parliament there voted yes on this deal. what do you think? well, yeah, i think it was what was to be expected, because though there was a lot of dissent within the party the opposition parties came around to back him. so he lost some of his own members ofof parliament. but he had backing from the opposition to get it through. >> so do you think that the fact that this went through that it's going to faze him in the sense that he can remain prime minister? >> well, for now at least but he may effectively find himself running a minority government where he only survives with the support of opposition parties because tonight we saw that the left-wing faction of his own party deserted him. >> all right you are seeing some of the fiery images coming out of athens, and clearly some greeks are angry. but you say that the prime minister is still pretty popular. >> yeah, he's tremendously

popular, and i think in a way he played this quite cleverly in the sense that in spite of his failure to get what he promised, he comes out looking like he put up a great fight. and all of indications are that he retains his popularity, even after the debacle of the past week. >> sosive russ kept talking about the ongoing talks in the past hour. he viewed it as a fight and some they view it as a fight instead of a compromise. >> yeah, they should because at the end of the day the greek government has to implement some of these measures, so the idea is a dubious proposition so over the course of the next year some of the followthrough

on these measures is not there and one was calling it blackmail, and the other a crime against humanity. are some of them seeing it as a way to pounce for their own political gain? gain? >> there was a lot of grandstanding going on, and sistertheywanted both things, to keep the euro and austerity. but the creditors made it clear that you have to keep one over the other. >> what do you think happens next?

>> in the short-term, the european central bank will be considering tomorrow whether it increases the liquidity to the central banks, and it will on the back of this vote. and eventually, we could see the reopening of the greek banks in the coming weeks with the assistance of the federal bank, and now that the greek government has passed these measures the other greek governments will give the details of the third bailout package, but despite it's popularity tsipras is going to have a hard time in the next year carrying out these measures and maintaining his government. >> okay, thank you for joining us. well, president obama today defended one of the cornerstones of his foreign policy answering questions from reporters about the

nuclear deal with iran, and he challenged his critics to come up with a better plan. jamie is live in washington for us. >> well, the president was clearly relishing his role as negotiator in chief because even though he had a helicopter waiting to whisk him away, he seemed reluctant to give up the podium, as he received every counter art and criticism. >> i made some notes about the arguments. >> like the law professor he used to be, president obama offered a point by point defensive in the historic iran nuclear agreement which has come under condemnation from republicans in kwon who have vowed to kill the deal. >> i do expect the debate to be on facts and not misinformation. >> it's not any time anywhere.

>> the president says declared sites can be inspected 24-7, and only unknown suspect sites are subject to a rue that could take 3 weeks. >> it may take 24 days to finally get access to the site. the nature of nuclear programs and facilities, this is not something that you hide in a closet. this is not something that you put on a dolly and kind of wheel off somewhere. >> and then there's concern about what's not in the deal. >> there's no addressing in this agreement that we have seen that addresses iran's role as a chief sponsor of terror throughout the region. >> true, says obama but the deal is designed to solve the much bigger problem making sure that iran doesn't get the bomb. >> it will be a lot easier for us to check iran's nefarious activities to push back against the other areas where they operate contrary to our

interests or our ally's interests, if they don't have a bomb. >> what about the infusion of cash, $150 billion or so that iran gets from its frozen oil revenues? >> we're not writing iran a check. this is iran's money that we were able to block from them having access to. >> obama said that those assets were not going to stay frozen forever, not with other countries eager to buy oil. >> is the incremental additional money that they have to try to destabilize the region or send in their proxies, is that more important than preventing iran from getting a fuk lar weapon? no. >> why not tighten sanctions to get an even better deal, says the senate republican leader some. >> we knew what was working satisfactions, and imagine spending the last two years rounding up the sanctions as opposed to this? >> president obama had an

answer to that too but made it clear that recalcitrant republicans are not his target. >> i'm not behind -- >> that's why he asked his vice president to huddle with democrats capitol hill, to shore up any whose support might be wobbly? >> one of the points that the vice president made, if there's no agreement, we can count on the fact that the international sanctions will unravel. >> among the criticism that the vice president answered, republican provisions to sanctions to iranian revolutionary guard commander who is to blame for the deaths of hundreds of u.s. troops in iraq. >> i promise that i will address this again. this is not the last we have heard of this debate. >> the president said that the

most compelling argument for the deal is it's better than any of the alternatives, and if iran cheats, the world will be in a much better position to deal with it, and the sanctions will snap back into place. erica? >> all right jamie mcintyre live for us, thank you. and former israeli prime minister barack, told the prime minister this morning that it was a bad deal. he said that it legittizes iran as a major nuclear power in the middle east. >> there's an opening for a much tougher negotiation with the however softer speaking would be accompanied by a big [ unintelligible ] that would convince the iranians somehow that they had dismantled the installation and start the missile program. >> the former prime minister says that while the deal may be good for iran, it's bad for israel. now, iran's record on human

rights and what might happen to americans detained there was not part of the deal. and that includes washington post reporter, jason rezio. . >> in his inaugural address president obama told israelis that he would seek a new way forward with mutual respect. and the deal with iran is the latest chapter in that, and president obama's senses and failures in the region. >> the iran deal, some argue is one bright point in a series of disappointments. >> it was supposed to be a fresh start. when back in 2009, president obama arrived in egypt with a message of peace. >> i come here to cairo to seek a new beginning between the united states and muslims around the world. >> but those new beginnings turned into old problems.

a revolution erupted and the dreams of the arab spring turned into nightmares. failed states, wars, crackdowns, from egypt to libya, to syria. but as the middle east changed critics say that the president largely watched from the sidelines. >> i can't see that the challenge of the arab uprisings was something that the president was going to be able to influence to a dramatic . >> obama warned the syrian president against using chemical weapons. >> we have been very clear to the assad regime, but also to other players on the ground that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moved around. >> but then obama moved away from the line. president assad remains in

power. allies like yemen have fallen to rebels. reaching a peace deal have collapsed. >> obviously, there are differences between us, and the precise formulations and language and that's going to happen between friend. >> and then there's iraq. >> i can report that as promised, the rest of our troops in iraq will come home by the end of the year. after nearly nine years america's war in iraq will be over. >> some argue that obama pulled out too early helping isil flourish, only then sending american forces back to help the iraq military. >> it gets really easy to sort of sum up a critique of all of things oh, this president didn't do this, did that, and was 10% wrong and 20% right. but the key thing that the president got right the u.s. for better or worse can't

unilaterally direct the direction of the middle east anymore, if indeed we ever could. >> some say that he shifted from diplomacy. with army rebels in syria and launching airstrikes against isil. >> the reality in the middle east today these crises were born in the middle east. and they involve a number of regional actors, and the solution has to come from the region itself. >> the deal that supporters argue was a huge victory for the president even if it infuriated allies like israel. >> what a historic mistake. >> overall, much of the region remains in conflict. it's a far different world than what the president hoped for so many years ago in cairo. and what the president said today ultimately needs to change. >> ultimately, it's not the job of the president of the united

states to solve every problem in the middle east. the people of the middle east are going to have to solve some of these problems themselves. >> that's what we hear, that it's outside of america's control. but obama hopes that he has created a foundation that the next president is build on. thank you. hundreds of ancient artifacts were put on display today in iraq's national museum in baghdad after being recovered from isil. they include coins and other relics used by royalty in the ancient city that isil targeted this year. >> reporter: there have been lots of allegations, but this is believed to be the first public evidence that isil is funding some of its operations through looted antiquities. the u.s. said it's special forces recovered several hundred artifacts after killing

a senior isil leader in syria in may. they said along with intelligence documents and did thea, they seized antiquities including gold couples more than 1,000 years old. in between looting the iraq museum and introduction of ancient sites iraq has been losing it's ancient heritage. >> we're working with our friends and partners, and the result is today we have gotten back some of our artifacts. >> the u.s. said it couldn't have done anything to protect them from the groups. >> the coalition does not have boots on the ground, and certainly, using airstrikes on targets like that could actually be more damaging to the pat patrimony of iraq than what the isil was doing. the best way to make sure that the dash can no longer destroy

iraqi or syrian patrimony is to expel them from the region. >> as for dash themselves, they were delivered here. he every object displayed in a museum has a number. three of these have numbers from the iraq museum in baghdad. they were believed to have been a lotted in 2003, but as for the rest, it's going to take a lot of research to determine where they came from. these were some hundreds of cylinders looted from the iraq museum in 2003, they were on cuniform tablets and there's no indication that any of these objects are from the mosul museum damaged by isil as they took over the city. and others are from excavations, looted from archeological sites in syria. this on parchment is believed

to have come from a church in syria. these artifacts are from what heritage officials believe brought in hundreds of millions of dollars for isil. and it's extremely hard to prove. >> still ahead on aljazeera america, justice delayed 70 years. the so-called accountant of auschwitz is sentenced to 75 couples of murder. and this fatal police shooting two years later.

>> video of a fatal police shooting two years ago near los angeles has been released against the wishes of the police department. a judge ordered the release of this video which shows gardena california police officers stopping three men while responding to a 9-1-1 call about a stolen bicycle. one of the men did not keep his hands up as ordered by the

officers, and police then opened fire, killing him and wounding another unarmed man. oak eco joins us live, and oak eco, is it true that the victim of the shooting was actually out looking for the stolen bike as well. >> . >> that's right erica. this is an incident that took place two years ago and it all started outside of a cvs pharmacy. there were reports of a bike stolen and the officers said that they got a 9-1-1 call, reporting it as a robbery which automatically elevated their response. two hispanic males on their bikes, and the officers spotted men who if i want the general description, and pulled them over minutes later. as the dash cam video that we're about to show you shows exactly what followed moments after. the officers ordered the men to raise their hands, and two of

them complied, but ricardo lowers his and moves around, and at one point you see him reaching for his cap. and that's when the officers shot the 34-year-old eight times, killing him on the scene, and we now know that the men were all unarmed. the victim's family sued the city of gardena and they settled the civil lawsuit for $7.4 million two years ago. the gardena police department fought to release the video and they said there was an understand as part of the civil lawsuit that it will not be released publicly, but the media organizations fought to release t. and they won. the victim's family's attorney is now calling for a federal investigation. >> we have asked for an investigation for the civil rights of violations by these officers which we think merits a prosecution. we hope that they take the time

and look at all of the facts that came out during the course of the civil litigation, and we will do that promptly. >> . >> and we had a chance to speak with the police chief out here at the gardena police department. he said that he relative humidities that federal investigation, and he has maintained for a long time that the department has nothing to hide and they welcome the investigation today. erica? >> they have nothing to hide yet the department did not want to release this video and we also know that the officers were not charged with the crime or even disciplined, so why fight the release of this video? >> well, when we spoke to them, they said that this was part of a larger issue. the fight was never about this specific video but he's worried that it's going to have a chilling effect. if they are forced to release this video they feel that the

officers of the police department may have to release all of the other video and he's worried that this could silence perhaps some witnesses in the future, people knowing that their words or their actions would be captured on tape. we spoke to ed medrano. >> we'rer concerned people know that they're recording them all the time. and they might be less willing to come forward as victims because they don't want their information out there in the public. and we deal with people in really troubling times at their worst, with very sensitive and personal information and we think we owe it to our communities to keep that stuff confidential. >> and we should mention all of the officers involved in the shooting were placed on leave immediately after the shooting, but they have returned on the job since the family attorney, ricardo zap reno, is demanding

that the officers be fired as well. >> okay, thank you. new details are emerging about the prison escape of mexico's most wanted drug lord. this surveillance video shows joaquin el chapo guzman escaping through the shower stall before escaping through a mile-long tum, and there's a $4 million bounty on his head. >> it could mean the difference between life and death. plus jason rezion is still one of three americans in iran, a deal or no deal to get his brother out.

>> president obama defended the nuclear deal with iran during a news conference today. he said that it achieved the goal of preventing iran have producing a nuclear weapon.

and the alternative is not even more volatile middle east. and he challenged his critics to come up with a better plan. >> i've heard a lot of talking points, who say this is a bad deal. this is a historically bad deal. this will threaten israel and the world and the united states. there has been a lot of that. what i haven't heard is, what is your preferred alternative? >> now that a nuclear deal has been struck with iran, many are calling for the human rights solution to the address. and ali some human rights groups hope that the deal will help things. >> this deal has no bearing on human rights, and we can't let it obscure the human rights situation, but human rights watch hopes that businesses will stand to gain from the

lifting of sanctions and put the pressure on iran. here's why they say that they need human rights reform. iran has more than 900 political prisoners and per capita execution rate of any country on earth. and since rouhani has been president, more than 1500 of them have been carried out. non-violent crimes like drug trafficking, three iranian americans are being held prisoner right now including jason rezion, who has been accused of es espionage. we talked about what they're doing to regular people. and iran does have a serious freedom of speech and human rights problem. >> is there a fact that countries who open up

economically actually improve human rights? >> this is used about china and cuba and once you get economic power in there something will happen. and it's necessarily the case. in the case of china it hasn't happened and it's partly because china is the 800-pound gorilla and nobody can push it around. iran it might have leverage on its leaders. i'll come into your country and make my soft drinks or whatever it is, and something has to change. but the countries don't want to jeopardize their profits by engaging in human rights abuses erica. >> what else do you have going on on the show tonight? >> we're looking at how iranians are in economic prosperity. a drug merchant, and they hope that it pumps new life into their businesses. >> all right, ali velshi, you

can watch them on aljazeera america. and as we mentioned jason rezion is one of the americans detained in iran. earlier, i spoke with his brother, ali and if they're getting any indication that his brother was part of the nuclear deal. >> i haven't heard anything, which is consistent, that they didn't want americans to be part of the deal. and didn't want to tie them to the outcome because it could potentially be a negative outcome. but at this point, we have a deal, and we move forward from here. and some want it, and others don't. but i want my brother to be home and back together with his family. >> so today, president obama spoke about this deal, and he talked about americans being detained in iran. and here's what he said. >> suddenly iran realizes, you know what? maybe we can get additional

concessions out of the americans by holding these individuals. makes it much more difficult for us to walk away if iran somehow thinks that a nuclear deal is dependent in some fashion, and by the way if we had walked away from the nuclear deal, we would still be pushing them just as hard to get these folks out. >> ali, what do you think about what the president had to say? >> obviously, he has a point. as i said all along, i want jason's case to stand by itself, buzz i know that he's innocent. and there's no proof that he did anything wrong. and that being said, if there was a deal that got jason out today, i would be more than happy. to get him out soon senior fine by me, but up to this point for the past year now these negotiations have done nothing but complicate jason situation and made it more difficult for

the iranian government to let him go, but at this point now that the terms are set and the deal is behind him our hope is that the government of iran will do the right thing finish up the legal process realize that he hasn't done anything wrong and release him. >> let's talk more about your mother being in iran earlier this week, and what does she say about how your brother is doing physically, emotionally. >> she has not been able to see him since she arrived in iran. she has been there and wouldn't let her into the trial. and they have not set a date that she's able to meet with him. my sister has been able to speak with him on the phone ream. and we know that this is taking a horrible toll on him. and he wants to be out and covering the story and not part of the horrible story. and that's where he should be, covering the story because he knows iran better than anybody else. but i think that has taken an

incredible toll on him in addition to the fact that he's isolated, he doesn't have a lot of human interaction with anybody. and it has now been 357 days that he has been held, and there's just no evidence that he has committed any crime at all. >> if you could speak directly to the iranian government and they were listening to you what would you want them to know about your brother's case? >> i would say to the folks at the top of the iranian government jason is clearly innocent. and this is not the kind of case that they want to show to the world to show off their justice system. all it can do is hurt their reputation and hurt the deal going forward and complicate things going forward. they should look at what's behind the case and let him do. >> coming up on one year, how hard is it still for your family?

>> if just takes over. i was just talking to my seven-year-old son about when jason is going to get out of prison, and not knowing. to go on with your everyday life my mom has obviously gone to iran, and she has been this in the last few months, and she wants to be with jason throughout the process though they're not allowing her to go into the courtroom to see the trial. >> ali rezaian blow brother of jason rezaian, thank you so much. japan could send troops for the first time since world war ii. a failed committee even as lawmakers stabled a protest inside of the chambers.

proposed legislation could draw the nation into war. and the bill is expected to be approve bid a lower house of parliament this week. in germany a guard from auschwitz has been found guilty of being accessory to murder. 94-year-old oscar was known as the bookkeeper of arb. >>bookkeepof auschwitz. >> he entered the court a frail, elderly man for three months, they have been looking at his past. how as a young man he worked for the ss as a clerk at auschwitz. earlier in the trial he told the clerk that he did acknowledge moral guilt but it was up to the judges to establish legal guilt. now they have, sentencing him to four years in prison. >> the judge explained that his

service in auschwitz should be taken as a whole supporting the main crime murder in 300,000 cases and found guilty of such. >> auschwitz was the most murderous camp that the nazis ran. the film solution to the jewish question. it's estimated that 4 million jews were killed at the camp. 100,000 homosexuals and poles and political prisoners were also murdered. oscar was at the camp between 1942 and 1944. his roll was to collect and sort the belongings of the murdered. he had a particular responsibility for foreign currency jewels and gold found among the possessions. he survived auschwitz and 30 other members of his family did not. he spoke to reporters as the

sentence was pronounced. >> unfortunately i can not forgive him for what he was done. maybe he took the ring from hi mother's finger as she was forced off the train and my father too. >> oscar chose to speak about his time in auschwitz. as he proposed them those who say that the exterminations never happened there. he's likely one the last members of the ss who served at you auschwitz to stand trial. though he was given a sentence, his frailty may mean that he does not go to prison. >> more than five months after police officers in washington state shot and killed a mexican immigrant farm worker, there were no charges filed in the case, but new information was released a short time ago. following the case, allen joins

us live from seattle. allen. >> erica, this is the amount of information that we received so far in this shooting. this is the file we're putting together. nearly 1,000 pages of documents. to this point we get a little bit of new release every wednesday, and what came out today, new pictures, and still pictures of the shooting scene audio records of interviews with witnesses and a couple new videos as well. in terms of video though, nothing new of the shooting as it happened. the dash cam that was released today, this dash cam shows the aftermath, antonio zambrano lying on the sidewalk in washington a blood trail coming away from his body. we see two officers approach zambrano, taking his pulse and eventual handcuffing him. paramedics did arrive at the

scene, and paramedics rive six minutesser later. no treatment obviously not obviously. what we received today, from pasco, are interviews that people conducted in the days immediately following the shooting or in some cases just a couple of hours later. all of that in very marked craft in the seven weeks that elapsed between the shooting and the first time that the officers involved were first interrogated by investigators. >> do we know more about the charges being filed against those officers? >> well, we know a little bit more but it's also a little bit confusing at this point. still no charges filed in the case, but the prosecutor in franklin county where this happened is now saying that he doesn't believe that he needs a public inquest to proceed before he makes his decision about charging these officers. whether not to and what degree the charges might come. that's a change from before,

when he said that he would like to see an inquest play out. and also, the coroner from that county, we talked to him. and he said that he has been turned down for his request for courtroom space in franklin county to conduct an inquest. and he went across the street to ask the city of pasco if they had a courtroom to use and they said sorry, we have to use it for city business, and we can't do it. right now, it's an inquest that we don't know is going to happen, and it doesn't have a home. it's an inquest that the officials are putting to the side at this point and we don't know if it's going to happen. >> allen, thank you. the family of an autistic teenager has filed a federal lawsuit against the new york city police department and the city of new york, claiming that the officers used excessive force on him and violated his civil rights. and they say that the officers

need more training to deal with autistic people. >> reporter: troy says that he was leaping against his family's car in the bronx standing in what he describes as a peaceful place when a police car pulled up. >> they said, what are you doing? i was like, i wasn't doing nothing. i was just chilling. >> canal is, now 18, is autistic and he has the mental capacity of a 5th grader. he has a very hard time making eye contact with people. and cameras aren't a problem though. >> he threw me on the ground like this. i'm screaming for my mom. >> his mother said that she ran out of the house telling the police that her son was autistic. >> even when i said that he was autistic they showed no care or concern. >> the police took him to the

station and released him an hour later without charges. the family filed a lawsuit suing the police department and the city for monetary damages and they're seeking better training for the police. the new york city police department did not respond on the case or the issue of autism and law enforcement training. but they said this, they're reviewing the claims and working closely with the nypd to determine the next step. someone not making eye contact can be very suspicious to an officer, and how crucial and life or death could this be in communities? >> i don't think that it's an exaggeration to say that it's a life or death issue because it can go very wrong very fast. >> according to the centers for disease control, the reasons are unclear. >> you may be responding to a

public safety emergency or a critical justice situation. >> training across the country for law enforcement officers, they have consulted with the nypd on how to recognize signs of autism. his son brad, was diagnosed with autism in the late 1980s. >> up to 40% of this population has some form of seizure disorder. >> people with autism often interpret literally. if asked to waive their rights, the person might waive back at them. >> if you wave your rights, what would you say? >> i don't know what i would say. >> jordan canal is' mother hopes that her lawsuit may lead to better training for the police, because her son's encounter with the police changed him. >> he used to wake up in the morning, singing every morning. we had a rououtine that he did and the routine stopped.

and it affected him tremendously. he didn't want to come outside. >> courtly keeley, aljazeera. >> still ahead on aljazeera america, pictures of pluto. nasa releases new images of the dwarf planet. and plus, farewell to fao schwartz. why the iconic toy store is closing it's doors tonight.

>> nasa's new horizon probe continues to send back new high resolution data. these are showing scientists' understanding of this world. and jake joins us to shed light on this for us. obviously, jake, it's a little early for this, but what have we learned so far? >> it has been a very exciting day, but already, we have a

mosaic of mimes from pluto in the scientist's hands, but just with the minimal that's came with them, we have learned extraordinary things. here's the closeup image that we saw today. and if you see the mountains there in the minimal they turn out to be made out of ice. something that's totally unheard of until new. here on earth, it's impossible for mountains that large 11,000 feet, to be made of anything but rock, but those are made almost entirely of ice. the minimals of the moon to the left. sheron the moon that surrounds pluto. and those two dance in a way together that causes all of other moons to dance around them. and it's unclear how these mountains could have ever formed. that's another thing that we have never seen before in the solar system. so in one day we're seeing

amazing things that are teaching us about the solar system >> so it's surprising for the scientists, and what's the next step for them? you are saying that they're going back to the drawing board, so what are they going to do now? >> it's amazing to see scientists of this magnitude and respect as stunned as they were. here's the lead investigator describing their level of tries today. -- surprise today. >> we certainly didn't expect sharron to show us the degree that it shows us, and that's a complete surprise. that's a balloon popping and just one image of about 1% of the surface of pluto the planet and finding mountain ranges like the rockies is a balloon popping. >> so as dr. stern mentioned we have only seen a tiny fraction of the image that's
