>> can affect and surprise us. >> wow, some of these are amazing. >> techknow - where technology meets humanity. >> this is aljazeera america live from new york city, i'm jonathan betz. and tony harris has the night off. agreement under fire. white house tries to convince senators to support the iran nuclear deal. critics say that the president was bamboozled. and amtrack new protocols for dealing with deadly. and sandra bland's death the autopsy indicates suicide.

>> and you are watching aljazeera america live from new york. i'm jonathan betz, and we deal with the heated debate on capitol hill as president obama defends the deal. harsh criticism from both parties, many who don't believe that iran will hold up their end of the bargain. libby casey did the senators get the answers they were looking for? >> reporter: jonathan, they certainly did get answers some of which they general winnley seemed to be after. they had real questions about the details of this iran deal. and that was laid out to great pain today. some in congress, and especially republics will be satisfied by anything the obama administration has to say. [ applause ] it was the first opportunity

for the chief u.s. negotiator to publicly defend his iran deal before congress. >> the alternative to the deal that we have reached is not what we have seen some ads on tv suggesting disingenerously. it is "a better deal" some sort of unicorn arraignment involving iran's complete capitulation. that is a fantasy plain and simple. >> the secretary of state made his case to the senate foreign relations committee a body he used to chair. flanked by treasury secretary jack lew. >> that's why we must keep them from having a fuk lar weapon. the combination would be a nightmare scenario. >> also, a nuclear expert sat at the negotiating table. >> to be clear, the deal is not based on trust. and it's hard nosed requirements that would limit

iran's activities w. transparency and verification. i can assure you this is not what iran wanted. it's a substantial dialing back of their program. >> but republicans were harshly critical. >> i believe that to be able to walk away from this and be able to say that this is a good deal is ludicrous. with all-due respect you guys have been bamboozled. and the american people are going to pay for that. >> republicans questioned many aspects of the deal, including the time granted tehran before nuclear investigators can expect the site. >> nothing holds into account human rights, and quite the opposite. the iranian regime is being rewarded for its atrocious human rights record. >> democrats defended the negotiators. >> if you were bamboozled, the

world has been bamboozled. and that's ridiculous, and it's unfair and it's wrong. >> president obama's team needs to win over democrats. congress has 60 days to review the deal. and if the republicans push a disapproval vote the republicans can veto. but it will take democrats stand become the white house to prevent a veto override. they are set to continue their campaign on capitol hill with closed door briefs, and appearance next week before the house foreign affairs committee. another deal that the house is guaranteed to push back against the iran deal. >> jonathan, the 60-day deal for congress to weigh in has already started and it's just a short time before congress leaves for a month away in august. until then, you can expect more questioning, more fireworks and more assurances from the administration as this deal is the best path forward for

iranism? >> a surprise visit to iraq today, ash carter discussed the deal on ramadi. 3,000 u.s. and iraqi troops are joining in the fight. it's the first time that recent american training is put to the test. but it will not include shia militias. u.s.-led coalition forces are using forces at turkish air bases to launch against syria. they have been using the air base for drone on regs. it marks an about-face from ankara. turkey is deeper into the fight because it shares a 500-mile border with isil-controlled territory. blaming nasa-controlled for shipmentser around the world. it took 12 years to be

discovered and the defense department is yet it say who will be held accountable. jimmy, what are they saying? >> bob woodard aim out to release the results of the 30-day review of what went wrong, and he said that he was shocked by what the investigators found in that initial investigation. and essentially, they found that the anthrax satchels that were shipped all around the world all failed to be properly neutralized at the army's dugway proving ground facility in utah. but the report didn't find any single root cause for the problem. and in fact, it says that the workers at dugway had followed the protocols correctly. it turns out that the problem was the protocols and they were the culprit. >> there's no national standard. so each of the labs had to make

their own protocols and test them for their viability. obviously, in the other lacks it seemed to work. dugway, it did not. we believe we know why. there's a combination of large production volume, low sampling volume on the testing for inactivation material for viability testing and there was a very short period of time between the time dugway irradiated the sample and declared it dead, and the viability test to conclude that it was. >> so there were four dod labs that handle anthrax and dugway is the biggest production one. and at that facility, they found there were problems with the amount of radiation that was used to try to neutralize the anthrax the viability testing that tested afterwards to see if it's really enactive,

and then contamination prevention. the fact that they used some of the same equipment to handle live anthrax and supposedly dead anthrax. those all could have been problems, and the next step, army investigation to detect whether there was a failure of leadership. >> it looks like they're blaming the procedures here, and not actual people and does that mean that no one here is going to be held accountable? >> at this point nobody is being blamed. problem is lack of scientific information about how to correctly neutralize anthrax but they also said had a there were red flags that were missed here. some of the samples had too many active spores, and someone higher up in the leadership should have recognized the problem and taken corrective action before the pentagon was notified by a maryland lab

hey, there's something wrong with the samples you're sending out. someone could be disciplined or sanctioned as a result of that second investigation. >> jamie mcintyre, thank you. new research sews had that a vast majority of undocumented migrants are under protective deportation according to president obama's new law. as many as 87% of migrants face deportation efforts. and the remaining 13% 1.4 million people, have criminal records or have illegally crossed the border recently. and donald trump took his campaign to the u.s.-mexico border today in laredo, texas. he spoke out on rival candidates, rick rick perry and hilliary clinton. and illegal immigration. >> there's a big problem with the illegals coming through. and in this section there's a problem, and in some, a massive

problem, and the people that come in, they have to be legal. very simple. >> and our jennifer london joins us live from laredo, texas. and there's also this issue with the border patrol unit that originally invited trump. and so what happened there is. >> that's right jonathan. well, there was a last-minute cancellation this morning, and it caught the entire campaign staff by surprise, including donald trump. this morning they issued a statement saying, after careful consideration, they were going to pull their local agents from any of the planned trump events along the border. this group needs to be neutral. and they don't want their participation being viewed as an endorse many of any candidate for president. after trump landed and he was asked about the cancellation, he said that he thinks that the local chapter was silenced by

washington but despite the danger, and danger was his bored, despite the danger of visiting the border town, he would continue with the visit and that's what he did. >> it was a very interesting visit there, jennifer, and as you know, heavy latino population, and what has it been like for trump in laredo? >> well, this is a very controversial campaign stop for donald trump to come to laredo, texas, when you consider that more than 90% of the population is latino, and when you think about donald trump's very outspoken, hardline stance on illegal immigration and the controversial remarks that he made in his announcement speech, when he said that he was running for the white house and hoped to win the nomination, you recall that he said mexico is sending into the u.s. immigrants who are rapists and criminals. and moments after he landed, i asked him about the importance of the latino vote.

>> mr. trump tell me, how do you expect to win the latino vote, given the comments that you made last month? >> i'm doing great with the latino vote. >> but in terms of getting the latino vote. >> i have thousands of latinos working for me. >> but you need more than thousands. >> i have thousands working for me and great people. and what they want are great jobs. i'll bring jobs back from china and all over the place. believe me, the latino vote will be very easy, and i will win that vote, the hispanic vote. >> what trump couldn't see from the tam being where we were speaking just beyond the fence and the building just beyond the airport a small but vocal group of protesters. >> mr. trump you are insulting us by being here in this town. you don't belong here. and you don't have any business running for president because you're not that type of man.

you are making a mockery out of democracy. >> . >> when asked if there was any specific policy, though he did say that in certain parts of the u.s.-mexico border, he believes that a wall is necessary, but jonathan, he said the hispanics will love me, and of course whether or not that is true remains to be seen. >> you pressed him there jennifer, and thank you. the greek government with another set of reforms today. creditors said that those must be in place before talks on a new bailout can begin. the banking systems shortly before they were announced, the top think tank said that they could slip back into a recession. capital rules imposed could take a toll on the economy. talks between ford and the

auto workers are getting underway. ford 'talks expire september 15 and they want to cut labor costs to more than 15,000 hourly employees but the uaw wants to close a pay gap between veteran workers and new hires. >> reporter: in 2007, the u.s. auto industry was flailing. sales for ford, general motors and chrysler were plunging, and competition among foreign rivals was high. plants were shut down, and thousands of jobs were lost, forcing the united auto worker's union to make unprecedented concessions. >> do you think that they should have more. >> absolutely, there should never be a divide. >> doris rodriguez is a second generation auto worker. her father helped her land an entry level job at a ford plant in 2009. >> they made sure that we had a

nice house to live in. it was fabulous. >> but as part of a new two-tier wage system, when she started working for ford, she earned around $14 an hour, and workers like her father earned $22 an hour when he was hired decades ago. >> a lot of us are living paycheck to paycheck, and we're struggling. it's very hard. there's a lot of frustration within the workforce. it's hard and difficult. >> her reality is far different from the days when pay from an auto job was enough to buy a home and support a family. >> they're doing the same work that we are. they have to work harder to maintain their position. >> but after years of concessions, the uaw is looking to brim the pay gap and ease tensions between the workers with the same job but are paid

differently. the issue will drive the summer's labor talk. the heads of gm and chrysler were all smiles during the ceremonial headache handshake to kickoff negotiations. >> the uaw does have demands and solid concerns, and you're going to see smiles go away over the next weeks and months as they get into serious negotiations. >> brin is an auto worker for the detroit-free press and he says that the controversial two-tier pay scale has made the turn around. the auto workers have made billions of dollars and it has allowed them to hire thousands of workers at a lower wage. >> ultimately, no matter what the ua workers and auto management agree to, these contracts have to be ratified by the membership and they have to be voted on. and the members feel that their

time has come to gain something out of these contract talks and that provides the uaw leaders leverage. >> here's what fiat/chrysler ceo, mark has to say. >> it's important that we come up with a compensation plan that allows union members to participate intelligently with performance while allowing us to maintain a competitive cross structuring. >> still sharky rodriguez says that it's a possibility. >> they need to realize that we have given back, and it's time to come full circle. >> as talks kickoff all three automakers say that they're open to negotiating a fair and competitive labor agreement. but it may require sacrifice for all involved to reach a new deal before the contracts expire in september. >> six major american film

studios are the target of an antitrust case. the union has named disney, nbc, universal sony, toe century fox and warner brothers in the case. accused of preventing the british satellite broadcasters, sky, from showing their products outside of the uk and ireland. clearing up misinformation from a formal anonymous to facebook. the controversial surrounding sandra bland's death. plus, college 2.0. nasa no ones the discovery of a potentially habitable planet.

>> in waller county, texas, new information in the jail cell death of sandra bland. the autopsy report does not show signs of homicide, but a texas judge took to facebook to

clear up what he called misinformation about bland's death. diane joins us now. and do we know why this information was released via social media? >> well, jonathan, one of the things that the county officials said today they're trying to be very transparent about the investigation and as you mentioned they did release the autopsy reports that they say show that sandra bland committed suicide. >> the only injury which was present on her neck or hand was what's called a ligature thorough or a ligature mark. this is consistent with a suicide. >> now another picture was shown of her hands and there were no wounds on her hands which would have indicated that she didn't put up a struggle. so in fact, as the prosecutor

was saying, this was in fact suicide and not murder. now, they're doing two vegs. one is looking into the traffic stop and the other investigation is looking into what happened in the jail cell. jonathan? >> so diane the early resulting released today. and more could come tomorrow. what are we expecting here? >> we're looking for a more thorough examination from the autopsy, but more importantly potentially a toxicology report. and that would take a look at one of the things that the prosecutor said today, there was evidence of marijuana in bland's system. that police report didn't say how much was there or when she may have ingested marijuana. and the marijuana could also go to her state of mind. if they're saying that she committed suicide, that could be an indication right there. >> diane eastabrook, we appreciate it. in alabama now the d.a.'s

office has yet to release finds of yet another woman who died shortly after being taken into custody by the police. 18-year-old chapman was found dead in a police holding cell on july 14th. she was arrested for allegedly stealing a cellphone in alabama. activists are holding protests outside of the police department, where they were demanding to know why chapman died. across the country trying to reduce the officer-involved shootings, and some of the departments are using real life training scenarios with an emphasis on less force. >> what you see may make the difference between life and death. >> stop where you're at. stop moving. >> shoot me, go ahead shoot me! i don't care if you shoot me. >> drop down to your knees. >> don't move!

>> this time, it's a training exercise but next time, it could be a real confrontation. that's when the challenge will be to keep an encounter like this from being lethal for a violent suspect. >> i would talk about your approach first and perhaps making it farther back, and approaching on foot to give you more time. >> the training for the police has to be more than going to the range once a year and spending eight hours shooting at a target. i mean, good marksmanship, we get that. you have to be able to shoot a gun to be a police officer and i think that everyone understands that, but the bigger challenge is to be able to make good decisions under stressful circumstances. >> here in richmond, the officers are taught to use good judgment. the goal is not to necessarily use a gun but rather to use

the other tools on their utility belt, like a baton or taser, in order to take control of a potentially deadly situation. >> put the gun down. put it down. we can talk about this, but you have to put the gun down. walk out. put your hands up. >> shoot me -- what are you going to do? >> what what are you going to do? >> get down on the ground. >> it's not as easy as people think. it's not hollywood. you can't shoot the gun out of somebody's hand. and somebody doesn't automatically fall down when you shoot them, and somebody doesn't automatically comply. >> he got to the rim of the car, and he continued advancing on you and why did you put your pistol away? >> because he didn't have any weapon in his hand or where i could get it, and therefore i pulled out a less lethal weapon which was a taser. >> whether he chooses the taser

or the pepper spray why did you go for the taser? >> this scenario ended with non-lethal force but it's a good way to have less deadly encounters with the suspects, and in turn have a better relationship with the community. >> a los angeles police officer has been sentenced for three years in prison for excessive force during an arrest. mario was caught on camera hitting alicia in the throat and kicking her. she later died. he was not charged in her death, but it was linked to drug intoxication in an autopsy report. secretary of state john kerry heads to capitol hill to push the nuclear agreement with iran, it's a tough sell for the white house, and not just for republicans. >> until you quit, you're probably going to be the first one in whatever you do. >> a mother's advice to her daughter, who is now making

military history.

>> the obama administration's attempts to sell congress on the iran fuk lar deal seem to be coming up short. the president's top cabinet secretary faced a highly critical senate foreign relations committee today. vocal opposition, warning that iran will take advantage of nuclear sanctions while still developing a nuclear weapon. rosilan jordanner reports. >> reporter: preventing iran from developing nuclear weapons. can the deal just announced by the u.s. and five other countries get the job done? the chair of the senate panel told obama officials he wasn't impressed. >> i believe that you have crossed a new threshold in u.s. foreign policy, where now it's the policy of the united states to enable a state sponsor of terror to obtain a sophisticated and industrial

nuclear development program. >> secretary of state john kerry told the foreign relations committee that wasn't true. and he called on them to embrace the deal. >> if we rent it. it will be the united states united states walking away from every one of the restriction that's we have achieved. >> but the anger from the senate republicans couldn't be contained. >> i believe we have been fleeced. >> you've been bamboozled. >> convince me that this what we're going through right now is not just a big charade. >> the behavior, whether it's supporting hezbollah or backing the syrian government in a civil war. that's when the treasury secretary spoke. >> just this week, hezbollah leaders, targeting the group's

facilitators and we'll not be relieving sanctions on the revolutionary guard core. >> they didn't want on scientific merritt. but one analyst said that the administration needs to do a much better job of selling it politically. >> how can you with american hostages and supporting terrorism. that's a very high-risk strategy that they can just get by on the science? >> they returned to congress on tuesday to once again defend the iranian deal. but the real fight may come in september when legislators could pass a measure calling on the u.s. to rent the deal it just negotiated. aljazeera, capitol hill. >> and by the way, it was not just senate republicans voicing concern about the deal. democrats joined in the chorus

too, including senator robert menendez. >> let me be clear. the sanctions being lifted if iran complies, if they comply, we said that we would not impose nuclear sanctions if they live with a nuclear agreement. >> i know, but my point is this. if you're going to snap back, you have to snap back to something. so if you're not snapping back -- >> let me fish, mr. secretary. >> don't eat up my time, with all-due respect. you cannot do that under article 41. which is capital 7 and mandatory, and it does have the language. >> i'm reading to you from the security council resolution that was adopted codifying -- >> the security council resolution. >> and it's as follows. >> it says iran --

>> mr. secretary, i'm reading you explicit language. iran is called upon to not undertake it. that's far different. >> tense moments on capitol hill. let's bring in kelsey davenport, director of the non-proliferation arms control ocean, and you hear the critics, and are their points valid? >> from a non-proliferation standpoint the deal is strong. right now, if iran wanted to get enough fluke lar material for a bomb, they could do so in two months and with this deal, it would take them over 12. and with the monitoring mechanisms so ensure that if iran diverts from the deal being it would be immediately decked and restricts could be put back in place. >> but you know iran is known for cheating, and there are a lot of loopholes that would

allow them to get around the safeguards. >> but the beauty is it puts in place a multilayered verification regime. if iran wanted to cheat, they would have to reconstitute their entire supply chain from mining to enriching a bomb. and the chances of them doing that without detection are miniscule, because if the inspectors have concerns, they will be able to access the sites and. >> but the concerns are that the inspectors will not have enough power and leverage. in some cases, they can only visit after asking. and critics say that they have to be given 24 days notice, iran and so there's a lot that iran can do to prepare in the 24 days, correct? >> iran is not going to be able to erase all traces of illicit activity in 24 days.

if they have concerns about illicit activities, and it notifies iran, it's going to continue to watch that site, particularly with satellite mims. if iran tries to move anything, the international community will know. and it's even harder to remove traces of radioactive material from the sights. so if iran tries to introduce enriched uranium the inspectors will be able to find that. and what's more, 24 days, in the past iran has stonewalled because there has been no mechanism to force their hand. now, if they don't comply within 24 days any of the members of the countries that negotiate the deal can go back and sanction. >> what kind of safeguards are in place among the inspectors to make sure that iran doesn't cheat? especially since the country has a history of cheating in these areas? >> well, if the iea has

concerns about these areas they can request access, and iran can take steps to safeguard the sensitive activity. and also, other measurements on the elements of the fuel supply chain will be very strong. the inspectors will be able to continuously monitor iran's material and evidence of their program, from mining uranium overnighturanium ore to centrifuges. >> if that happens, are we basically at square one on this. >> i think that we have moved past square one if that happens. it's a very dangerous game if the u.s. kills the deal and walks away. because essentially washington will be walking away alone w.

out the international support of our negotiating partners and the rest of the world community. and that support to keep the sanctions in place is really what brought iran back from the negotiating table. so if the u.s. kills the deal, we'll be far away from where we started in 2013. >> the arms control association in washington. good to see you and thanks for your time. and aljazeera america has confirmed that turkey will allow the united states to use a strategic airbase near the syrian border to launch strikes against isil. tom, what have you learned? >> well, after months of negotiation with the turkish government, it has been announced -- although it's still vague and in official terms, that the u.s. and turkey have agreed to deepen their cooperation. the defense department officials say that it means that turkey will final allow the u.s. air plains to operate

from the air base, which gives them a more advantageous vantage point for hitting tarts against isil in both syria and iraq. it's only about 400 miles from the de factoese ill capital. and that also, the fact that the surveillance drops, which have been operating from that air base for several months now, they will be get much shorter lead time for those planes to actually hit their targets. >> so tony, as you know, there had been resistance from turkey on this front and so what led up to this decision? >> well, the turks have -- it's not really clear yet what exactly, but it was obvious that the turks were demanding something in return for this concession. of course what happened, and what led up to this immediately was this horrible suicide bombing just across the border,

which killed dozens of civilians and which was the first direct attack that could beas scribed to isil on turkish soil. but beyond that, the turks have been be cracking down on infiltration of factors loyal to isil from turkey into syria. and so now, it was clear that the turks, it would be very difficult for the turks to continue to avoid that kind of involvement. but the turks had been bargaining or negotiating for a much clearer and much more direct american role in actually working against the assad regime, which is their main priority actually. the turkish government really wants to see president assad of syria go. and they were looking for a no-fly zone that would operate in that area, so that there

would be a buffer zone available there. the question here is whether the united states and its coalition partners have actually made that kind of concession, but so far as you know the united states under very limited circumstances, is operating combat missions over syria, and only against isil targets, and not against the syrian government. so there's that standoff that continues now and as we know, the situation is much more complicated, whether the american and coalition role will get a lot more intense and direct turning towards turkey's prime enemy in the area, which is the syrian government. >> a lot of moving parts without question. tom ackerman, thank you. in just under an hour, president obama will take off for kenya. it's his father's homeland, and it is his first visit there since taking office.

but this trip is a lot more than going back to his roots. he will meet with his relatives, but the officials say that he will not visit his father's village due to security and logistic concerns. mr. obama has made three previous visits to kenya the last as a senator back in 2006. michelle howard is the first african-american woman to command a ship. and the first in any of the armed services to earn three stars. admiral howard made history last year, becoming the first african-american woman to reach the rank of four star admiral. jamie mcintyre sat down with her to talk about race, military and what she has planned next. >> admiral michelle howard's climb up to the pentagon office is almost as fast as her rise in the navy. she's a rock star who has enjoyed a stellar career on the fast track and while some sing

her praises, she is quick to admit that she's lucky with the doors opening as she was ready to stride through. when i sat down with the admiral, i asked her to list her firsts. >> i was the first african-american woman to command a ship in the united states navy. i was the first woman who wassan app list graduate to reached rank of one star, and the first african-american woman in the navy to reach two starring and the first african-american woman in the armed forces to reach 3 star, and the first african-american woman to reach 4 star in the armed services. i'm the first woman to hold the rank of vice chief of cooperation. >> admiral is not the title that she thought but she has grown to be like it. she showed me a letter from a nine-year-old girl. >> i'm happy that you know how

to steer a navy ship and fight pirates. >> that reference to fighting pirates -- remember the true life movie captain phillips? as depicted, it was admiral howard's job as part of the counter terrorism task force to direct the rescue. but back to the framed letter. >> that letter resonated with me not because of her recognition of what the navy does at such a young age but because in that letter, she talks about her family. wow, she just had the greatest mom and dad in the world. >> howard knows something about great parents >> so the journey coming into the navy actually starts when i was 12. i saw a documentary on a service academy and i thought oh gosh, that's what i want to do. >> back in the 70s the u.s.

naval academy was not hope to women. but michelle's mom offered wisdom. >> if you still want to go and they're still closed to women we'll sue the government. and i was like wow. >> turns out they didn't have to sue. howard was admitted to the naval academy class of 1982, the third class to include women, a door that opened just in time. it has been like that throughout her career. you have to punch tickets to get promoted in the navy. for instance, you have to command a ship. something that was barred for women until the 1990s. but another door opened. >> we saw a picture of you with your -- i believe it was commander epaulets. >> on my whites? >> yes, you have a pair of binoculars around your neck, and tell me what we're seeing in that picture. >> that was my very first deployment as a commander. i took command in march of

1999 and we're getting ready to go out for six months. i'm one of the first women commanding officers on the ship. >> now she has an e ring pentagon office and a binder full of issues. one of her top concerns, increasing gender diversity. getting more women into more jobs and she would like it if 25% of the force were female, creating a critical mass to tip against bias and stereotypes. the pentagon has declared that all jobs are open to women unless it's shown that they can't perform at the same level as men. grueling combat training, and so far none have made it through. but in the navy, there are too few jobs open. >> do you see jobs that are not open to women? >> question made the decision to start putting women on submarines, and that was one of the last areas where women

cannot serve. >> do you see when the policy is completed that there will be anything closed to women special forces, navy seals? >> seals will be the last area that gets looked at. my sense is, if the opportunity will probably be there. it will be a matter of what are the occupational standards that are needed in order for anyone, men or women to qualify. >> admiral howard laz spent nearly four decades in what used to be called this man's navy back when sexual harassment was not on the radar. >> when change happens people's heads hurt the way new shoes hurt their feet. so there were some hurting minds out there when i started. and yep, there were some folks who didn't behave the way they should have behaved. >> when what do you think when you walk down this hall and you're surrounded by all of these men

in the navy. >> one is the historical fact of where our country has gone. i mean, we started off as only men can be, and civilian oversight, it has promptly been men. history of leadership in the military, for the navy, it doesn't start until the first world war. when we bring in women as enlisted. >> trail blazing can be a burden but overmother, the same mother who vowed to sue to get her into annapolis told her early on. >> i was talking to her on the phone and griping and she said, you know where you are historically, and you better embrace it or leave buzz it's not boy change. until you quit, you're probably going to be the first one at whatever you do. and i thought wow that's really great advice, and i just need to embrace the journey. >> jamie mcintyre, aljazeera

the pentagon. >> and still ahead new privacy concerns over your smart phone that the gnat pack. >> it's the closest planet yet to resembling earth.

>> new concerning raised about google and privacy. a new service launched by the tech giant has your android phone keeping track of your every move for years. >> they have been watching for years, believe it or not but it's the beacon in your pocket that may be giving away more of your secrets. it's not a surprise that the phones help us get to place using gps. and let's face it, how else are you going to check into

facebook without gps? but if you have an android phone, it may be more visible than perhaps you realize. android is google's phone operating system. the most common phone ios in the world. if you have a samsung a sony, chances are it's a destroyed. and it may be logging your location without knowing t google has just quietly launched this, your time line. entries showing exactly where you've been, in some cases stretching back years at home and abroad. where you came from, where you went. and even where you stopped off for a quick sandwich. a deposited analysis of you. as far as google is concerned this is something that is designed to enhance your life. only you can see this data, nobody else. you can delete it at any time, and crucially, you have to have opted in in the first place. the question is, you got a new phone, you turned it on for the

first time. do you accept this? that? half of the time, you say yes but do you really know what it is you're agreeing to? so what is it that google gets out of all of this. >> google makes most of its money selling i phones, and the better picture of you it can buildup, the more they can charge. so financially this makes perfect sense and it can understand you better than you might understand yourself. and that is extremely powerful for marketing. >> if you really don't like that, google says that you can disable location services in your phone settings to turn tracking off. or alternately, you could go old school. no apps, just annoying ring tones, but at least you won't with be giving off any more unwanted signals. >> fascinating stuff there. and for a look at what's coming up at the top of the hour,

here's john. >> coming up tonight at 8:00, fbi director says that isil is now a bigger threat to u.s. domestic security than al qaeda because of their inspiring americans to kill at home. we'll explore the threat posed by isil and if the throat from al qaeda is diminishing. and plus, when we return to baltimore three months since freddie gray died in police custody, low police morale. >> any city in the world, they know when the police are engaged and when they're not and when the pressure is not there, they can feel it, and will likely engage in bad whatever. >> baltimore a city deeply divided, what's being done to fix the problem. and muslim comedians celebrating laughter. we'll go inside of the funny fest to hear some of the top comedians in the business. and plus, my conversation

with one of the top comedians. >> how am i going to pay for the mortgage, and what daycare am i going to put my kids in, my ex won't stop calling me. that's my life. >> more stories coming up in a few minutes. >> and finally tonight an amazing discovery in space. scientists have found a planet beyond our solar system that could possibly support life. kepler 452b is 1400 light years away circling a sun much like our own. researchers located the planet based on observations from kepler kell scope. they say its earth's bigger older cousin and it might have a rocky surface and even water. >> today wear announcing the discovery of an actual planet that as far as we can tell is a pretty good close cousin to the

earth and our sun. >> all right so let's bring in leroy child a former nasa astronaut and mission commander, and he joins us via skype. so leroy this spacecraft has covered thousandses of planets over the years and we have heard this from the past. how do we find something like this? >> this is the first planet that looks like it's in the goldilocks zone, not too cold and not too hot. it's 60% larger in volume than the earth. and it's orbiting a sun that's older than our sun but it's about the same temperature. so the temperature on the planet could be kind of earth-like. it's possible that it has the same building blocks for life to exist on the planet. >> we don't know if it's a gassy planet or an actual rocky planet correct? >> that's correct. and it's 1400 light years away,

so it's amazing that we were able to get the information that we have gotten, but there's evidence that points to it might be a rocky planet, which might be good for life, and if it's a gasaeus planet, we don't know. >> you don't know if there's water on the planet. >> we don't know anything about the chemical compditioncision, but it's pretty interesting that we can infer the temperature, it looks from the distance it circles it's sun every 385 days, which is close it our solar year, which is kind of interesting. >> what happens next? will we be able to answer these questions, or is it too far away to figure tout what's happening there. >> right now kepler, we're looking for wobbles and shadows, so it can't really scan and get chemicals and the composition of the planet from this it distance, at least not today. that's not to say that the technology won't advance to the

point where we can do that. >> that's why we had to send new horizon to pluto to find out that there were ice mountains and methane present. >> it's interesting that we're learning more about the planets, and the big question, it's possible that there may be life out there. and should we be directing our radio telescopes to keplar to hear anything. >> if we did that, it would take 1400 years to get there and if we started listening to kepler 425b, if they were transporting 1500 years ago we might hear them. >> a lot we don't know. a lot to learn about it. >> it's neat to find and it doesn't surprise me. my personal opinion there's all kinds of life in the universe, but the distance is so large we haven't found each other yet. >> leroy, thank you so much. and more on the future of space

exploration tonight on "inside story." 8:30 p.m. pacific. john seigenthaler will be back in just a couple of moments and it's the international hour with antonio mora.
