historic mistake or a triumph of diplomacy? >> thank you stephanie. it is historic, but i don't think it's a historic mistake. i think some of the rhetoric we've heard about it, for example, comparing it to munich, using words like peace in our time and apiecement, that's frankly overstatement, and i've heard some commentary and read commentary also from israel which has criticized the prime minister's rhetoric as overblown. >> there is, though, firm opposition, even in this country, especially among represents in congress to the nuclear deal siting americans distrust based on days when you and others were held hostage. is that distrust still warranted? >> of course it is. but ask yourself, what after all is diplomacy.

what was our diplomacy with the soviet union during the cold war, for example. it's negotiating in imperfect agreements and this agreement is not perfect because no negotiated agreement gives you all you want. with people, that you neither trust for you like. it's flawed agreements with dubious people. you can criticize the agreement fair enough. a lot of the criticism is based on not wanting a negotiated agreement, but wanting a surrender from the other side. >> i want to go back to those days 34 years ago when you were held hostage in tehran for 444 days. there was this incredible video i recall of you meeting with then president of iran while you were held hostage. he is now the stream leader. this is video we're showing of this extraordinary meeting. given your experience with iran,

what do americans maybe misunderstand about the country? >> well, i can't see the video but obviously i think i was certainly much younger then, but again, it isn't that we are friends with the islamic republic. it isn't that we like its sense of -- its form of government or that we agree with its imprisoning journalists mistreating its own people, including journalists american journalists, but the question is how do we deal with it, do we continue to bash it? do we continue to yell at each other as we have for 34, 35 years with no visible results or do we take another way as typified by the approach of

first president obama and then secretary kerry during particularly the last two years of these nuclear negotiations. >> do you think that this current agreement moves iran and the u.s. in any way beyond that history? >> of course it does. now people on both sides will deny it, because there are still things that we do not agree with about iran's policy, but the fact is that the last two years there has been a dramatic change. we and the iranians are able to do something that we haven't been able to do for 35 years which is talk to each other and find areas of common ground, and where there are areas of common ground, to reach agreement. >> we really appreciate be your perspective on this this morning. thank you. >> thank you stephanie. >> we are learning more about

puerto rico for ages now. >> puerto rico became a u.s. territory in 1898. since then, congress has given and taken away. in the 1970's, the u.s. government helped attract business to puerto rico by granting generous tax breaks. that led to a booming manufacturing sector, particularly pharmaceutical companies. twenty years later congress began phasing out the tax breaks. they ended in 2006. >> once they started to do that, manufacturing really diminished dramatically in puerto rico. >> at its peak, the island was home to 89 drug manufacturing plants. now there are 40. then there's the jones act date to go 1920. it requires products from one u.s. fort to another to be carried on u.s. ships by u.s. crews. that drives up prices. >> from congress's perspective it benefits the ship building industry which has intricate

parts, every district across the u.s. is involved. they would love to help out puerto rico, but they have a pretty strong lobby in the shipping industry to counter this. >> congress decided bonds from puerto rico would be triple tax exempt. those who buy them don't have to pay federal, sit or local taxes on the bonds. >> they were extremely attackive in the marketplace and puerto rico actually got addicted, i would say to it, and so it was a lot easier to just go out and borrow as opposed to making tough decisions. >> the government kept borrowing, and investors kept investing and now the island's debt service is $1.5 billion a year. if puerto rico were a state its public corporations could declare bankruptcy and restructure. not so with this territory. a representative introduced a house bill to extend that bankruptcy law to puerto rico

and he has supporters in the senate. >> here's the sad irony the tools to fix this problem are sitting in the tool box. the problem is puerto rico isn't allowed to use them. >> just another example some say of how residents of puerto rico all u.s. citizens, have second class status. >> you don't need to know much about politics to know that that is not right. >> greece made two debt payments thanks to an influx of ballout funds. part of the payment was to cover paymentses missed in june. greece received an emergency loan to help cover bills until a new bailout deal could be finalized. >> a&p is being forced to close more stores after once again filing for bankruptcy. we have more.

nearly 300 stores, dozens of underperforming locations will be shut down almost immediately. in a statement the union representing workers called on the company to stay in business during its bankruptcy process and honor responsibilities to its employees. >> bargaining agreements with employees may be a problem going forward. perspective buyers don't want a&p's pension obligation. >> could affect a lot of people. thank you. >> a marijuana crackdown california goes after illegal growers who are draining water from tribal land. >> a new warning over lost sleep, why it could do more than leave you tired. it could increase your risk of and wouldalzheimer's.

came to washington with a wish list top to help fight boko haram. it does appear that the obama administration is ready to make any drastic changes on that. they point out they've given $34 million to the multi-national task force fighting boko haram in the region. light arms were given to the group. we are told they don't go to nigerian soldiers. the obama administration has concerns about alleged human rights abuses at the hands of the nigerian military. they want that cleaned up before they'll consider changing course. the new president thanked president obama for helping him get into office. >> pressure by united states mainly and europe to make sure that elections were free, fair and credible led us to where we are now.

it would be almost impossible if the united states did not maintain the pressure on the former nigerian government that they will not accept anything as far as the processes of the national concern. >> he asked for help getting $150 billion out of overseas banks. he said that was basically looted by former corrupt nigerian officials. the u.s. does seem likely to try to help him find it and then brin it back to the nigerian economy. >> nigerian political analyst is in washington, d.c. this morning joining us with more. thanks for being with us. u.s. relations with nigeria as you know hit a low point at the end of good luck jonathan's term. how important is this restarten in relations to nigeria and what does it mean for the u.s.? >> nigeria is a very important country, is the most populace country in africa, the biggest democracy and biggest economy.

it is in the interest of nigeria and the u.s. to have a very cordial relationship. the administration didn't manage it well and i think he is not only here for help but to renew a relationship since nigeria became independent and also at the same time to find a way of solving a common problem which is the insecurity which is threatened not only in nigeria but also in neighboring countries. president buhari contested and won the election pledging to end the violence from boko haram. he has taken steps towards that, appointing a new security team to ensure that they pursue boko haram and the end of violence and to fight corruption. he's also here to seek operation of international organizations and countries to repatriate the wealth stolen from nigeria. >> let's talk about the specifics he might get from

washington. what should the u.s. role be, for example is he plan to go restart training of nigerian troops by u.s. special forces which was halted during jonathan's administration? week. >>. i think that is one of the things on the table. he wants to renew training, but also, at the same time the united states refused to sell arms to the nigeria but now that we have a new army leadership committed to transparency and obeying the law, it's time for the u.s. to review it's policy toward nigeria. >> the law that prevents the u.s. from providing arms to armies that have been accused of human rights abuses. is buhari's past role as a military dictator affecting perceptions of him in washington? >> that was a military rule,

this is democracy. he has reiterated many times he is now a democratic and there is a democratic pros in place. he has mentioned that he is committed to rule of law and human rights and the international organizations the local n.g.o.s will keep pressuring the nigerian government to respect human rights. i think the buhari administration is determined are to do things differently and that is why he's here in the u.s. to seek full cooperation. >> boko haram is often scribbled as a political creation driven by corruption, but things like in qualify and youth unemployment. is boo harry doing enough to address these realities six weeks into his term? >> absolutely. i think the first thing that they need to understand is the problem. i think boo harry understands that this is a problem that requires both military and non-military solution, that it would need to address the root causes that give back to the violence like unemployment, like

i will halt razz, especially in the northeast and all of the things that you will be doing meeting with the organization to rebuild the communities destroyed by boko haram and also providing better education and better employment opportunities in the northeast. yes, boo he is less than two months in office, but is taking steps to correct these things. >> illegal marijuana consumes vast amounts of water in california some being trained from sacred tribal lands. we have the exclusive report. >> the huge clearing in this remote area in california is a dead give away to those

experienced drug enforcement police officers, cracking down on illegal commercial marijuana growing. we are following 77 federal state and federal law enforcement officers, including the california national guard as they swarm in on dozens of private properties to destroy tens of thousands of marijuana plants, but this is no record near pot bust. these are sacred tribal lands. >> we are helpless. we are helpless. we go up on a hill, and fight with them. >> for generations tribal leader tomas wilson and his family lived here. now illegal commercial marijuana growers are polluting the rivers, the lifeline for his people. >> they're destroying our hills where we used to hunt and fish. >> the environmental damage is staggering. marijuana plants require vast amounts of water. during california's growing season, outdoor grows consume ruffle 60 million gallons of water a day.

that's a huge strain on any environment, but especially here where crippling drought is in its fourth year. >> boundaries of this red area here everything within that area. >> over the past month the lt. with humboldt county drug enforcement unit worked closely with the tribe to issue search warrants. now the federal officers and the tribe are working together to battle a common enemy. the chief called the governor's office for help when the number of illegal grows tripled this year overwhelming his 10 person police force. >> easy target, plenty of water not a lot of enforcement obviously we come up here, we don't get half of the grows that are up here. >> evidence of hazardous chemicals and waste is everywhere. >> what i'm looking at here looks to me like a bunch of trash, but this is pretty toxic to the environment. >> this is very toxic. there is fragile with that we

get between 60 and 80-inches of rain so as this breaks down, which is only 40 inches hits bedrock, and you see the slope. any of these slopes around here, it's like 30, 80-degree slopes, so just goes straight into all the little tributaries that feed downward. >> endangered coho salmon breed tomas fishes here but is catching fewer and fewer because the sediment from the pot farms is poisoning the spawning grounds. >> we own the land. we're care takers of the land. the land owns us. we're going back to that land. >> al jazeera humboldt county, california. >> on the healthbeat, new research suggests there is a link between not getting enough sleep and the risk of getting alzheimer's disease. we have more. this is something a lot of us

that work odd hours may not want to hear. >> especially. the advice is to try to get seven or eight hours of sleep. new research suggestion you may pay the price. >> the brain metabolizes and clears toxins that result from work differently and sleep is really key to clearing those toxins from the brain. >> those are brain clogging gunk that build up over a lifetime. john hopkins researchers studied 70 older duties. they found those who said they got the least sleep under five hours a night or who had slept fitfully had higher levels in the brain than those over seven hours a night. in order to clear the toxic protein and prevent the plaque it forms deep sleep is what matters. >> deep sleep not rem sleep is key for this particular activity in terms of getting rid of the

toxins from the brain. if you're not getting enough deep sleep, you are not going to ward yourself off from alzheimer's. >> how do you know if you are getting quality deep sleep? if you don't wake up feeling refreshed, you should see a doctor to check for other problems. without a cure for alzheimer's all you can do is try to prevent it by exercising, eating right and not abusing alcohol or smoking. she suggests going to bed at a similar time each day and reducing the amount of time you spend in front of t.v.'s and computer screens because that can wake you up. >> this toxic fluid builds up over your lifetime. what is unclear is what causes it. reservers aren't sure if poor sleep contributes to the onset of alzheimer's or if it is an early symptom of the disease. more sleep can't be a bad thing. >> that's true. thank you. >> forensic investigators in washington state have been trying formabilities to determine who's responsible for

the shooting death of an an german last winter. the problem it involved three officers, three guns, and 17 bullets. we visit a crime lab to see how they make the connection to figure out which was the fatal shot. >> this is a 45 caliber bullet for a glock. this is a glock 21. this is rick wyatt with the crime lab who is going to fire that into a water tank so we can retrieve the bullet in just a moment. go ahead. glocks have been known for many years to be difficult to identify the bullets of, to link specific cartridges with specific guns. it has to do with the way the bullet is deformed as it goes out of the barrel. we're going to reach into the water tank now and get that bullet. 45 caliber glock 21, so that's a

hollow point bullet and that's the way it's been deformed as it hits the water. it splays out. it can be very smooth, so the identifying marks left by the gun are very difficult to pick up than in most guns. we'll talk more about how that can play into situations involving attempts to identify specific glocks and link them to specific bullets. >> you can watch alan's full report tonight at 8:00 eastern. >> the u.s. loves its bacon. the average american eats 18 pounds every year. scientists say they have found a super food that tastes just like it but better for your health and the environment. let's bring in nicole mitchell. we are talking about seaweed right? >> yes it would be cooked, so crispy. people say that is like trying to find a uniform some healthy

but tastes like bacon. traditional bacon we know not at heart healthy mates versus vegetables and meet production uses more environmental resources, so not at environmentally friendly. some of the things that cause that, production have pigs, for example, causes waste that goes into the water ways. the smells and compounds get in the air. 15% of greenhouse gases come from livestock per the u.n. some put that higher. production, we produce 23 billion pounds a year and that is up and uses almost 600-gallons to produce just one pound, so not virally friendly versus seaweed doesn't require fresh water doesn't use airable land. it gross in the wild in the pacific and atlantic and is a great source of vitamin and minerals, even healthier than

kale. it's got 16% protein and they think this new type that tastes more like bacon might be able to get into general production by next year. right now it's just in the lab. >> yum. nicole mitchell, thank you. >> a big upset for golf's newest star jordan speith came within one shot of winning the open championship. he almost captured a grand slam. instead, it was american zach johnson taking home his first title at the tournament. johnson has two majors among his 12 lifetime p.g.a. tour victories. >> a big honor for a member of the u.s. soccer team, she will be on the u.s. edition of fifa 16 the popular video game franchise. she'll share the cover with lionel messee.

religions that frown pawn interference with a dead body. i like to think with teaching, this hillary clinton fill could fill a unique niche. >> so far there hasn't been a complete body printed. there isn't a machine big enough to do it. this is a mix of body parts based on scans of different people, a modern model frankenstein. >> this isn't the start of being able to print something that could be given to life, for science teaching, it is a big foot step forward. >> steven hawking is joining the search for life beyond earth. the renowned as i say sift signed on to a $100 million
