final show. there were messages from john kerry and john mccain. a research poll showed that jon stewart had managed to attract a much younger audience than traditional news programs. fair well, jon stewart. two top democrats say they will not back the iran nuclear deal. a major crack in president obama's base of support. the u.s. add 200,000 jobs in july. this is what is happening, because our leaders are stupid, our politicians are stupid. >> and donald trump didn't hold back his fire against the

country's leaders, g.o.p. opponents or rosy o'donnell. ♪ this is al jazeera america live from new york city, i'm stephanie sy. two prominent democrats they will vote against the iran nuclear program in congress. schumer who's vote is widely seen as influential says after much soul searching, he has decided he will oppose the agreement. john terrett is live in washington. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. well, this is a big deal. this is all set against the background of earlier this week, president obama and the israeli prime minister benjamin netenyahu lobbying jewish groups in the united states in favor and against, of course, the iran deal, and my extension they were

lobbying politicians here as well. and the reason for that, we saw the president addressing a crowd at american university earlier this week. the reason this intense lobbying is happening before the congress leaves town for the summer vacation. the house is gone. the senate has wrapped up its business, and the idea is to plant iran-type thoughts in the minds of lawmakers as they head to the beach and the midwest with their families, wherever they are going to go. that's why today's news from schumer is so important. because he has basically kicked the president in the shins, stephanie. >> at least the last word before congress resumes. but what has he cited as some of the reasons he is not supporting dhael. >> number one he is concerned about the nuclear restrictions on iran. he is concerned that the deal runs out after 10 years, and

this anywhere any time inspection is actually not quite true in his view. that in order to get inspections in iran it will require a vote from the p5-plus-1. we have a full statement from charles schumer, this is what he has said within the past couple of hours. stephanie? >> john, any reaction from the obama administration to this yet. >> john kerry is in vietnam on a trip. he and scores of other members of the administration are very pro this deal, and secretary kerry has said as far as chuck schumer is concerned, the facts don't support the arguments. here is more of what kerry has

had to say from earlier this week. >> if you have 25 years of uranium tracking, which we have, and 15 years at 300 kilograms of enriched -- of stockpile, and a limit on enrichment with open inspections, 24/7, it is physically impossible to build a bomb. >> so the take away from all of this is here are two leading democratic politicians, lead by charles schumer who often speaks on behalf of the administration on foreign affairs and a leading jewish member of the senate, basically poo-pooing this deal, and as everybody leaves town they leave town with their words ringing in their ears. >> john, thank you. let's bring in the policy director with the national iranian american council. good morning, and thank you for

your time. give me your reaction of this prominent democrat disapproving of this deal. >> it's not a surprise. it's a disappointment, i had hoped that schumer would break from some of the votes that he cast in the past. he was a supporter of the iraq war, he has been hawkish on these types of issues. there was a hope he would stand with the president and recognize this was a good deal for everybody. unfortunately i think that he has some logic that suggests that maybe politics had a bigger role to play than policy, and any negotiated solution would have been unacceptable to him. >> to be fair, jamal, it doesn't seem like it's only politics. he has real concerns about the 24-day period in which inspectors may have to wait. and he points out that the u.s. lacking the ability to

unilateral inspect those sites without the agreement of all of the other countries. >> compare it to the alternative. we don't have any access. the 24-day issue, is to me a none issue. iran can't find fissile materials in that period of time. that is a period that our nuclear experts believe is completely acceptable to ensure that iran will not get a bomb during this period and as far as the nuclear components of this deal, for those ten years, he thinks it's a better deal than the itself rejecting it. what he emphasizes more is the fact that iran will get sanctions relief. >> and they would get a lifting of the international arms embargo. >> the united nations sanctions on conventional and ballistic

missiles remain in place. and those are the ones that carry weight. the u.n. sanctions are symbolic. if anybody thinks this is working, then why have we seen the activity that iran has been engaged in. >> does it ultimately come down to trust and schumer says this in his statement. that at the end of the day a lot of americans don't believe that iran will behave in accordance with this deal, that they won't secretly try to enrich you yan um. >> right, and i agree that that trust is not there. that's why you need a deal like this. the problem with schumer's logic is he assumes if we rejected this deal, we could continue down the path that we're on. because iran elected a president who wanted to negotiate, who was

more moderate, these sanctions are not going to be there forever. the international community wants to hold iran accountable. if people like schumer want to go down that route, they have to recognize, we have to accept this deal, and if iran violates the deal, and does behave in an untrustworthy manner, that is the only way to put those sanctions back in place. just rejecting them outright ensures that the sanctions regime collapses on its own. >> thanks for joining us. new numbers this morning show the u.s. economy added 215,000 jobs to payrolls in july. the jobs report shows that the economy is holding steady. patricia how do these numbers compare to previous months.

>> we were looking for a jobs number over 200,000, and we got it. the unemployment rate was steady at 5.3%, as was the measure of people either working or actively looking for a job. now the mix of jobs skeweded towards services. the mining sector shed 4,000 jobs in july as u.s. energy firms cut drilling and exploration, and you can put that down to the drop this oil prices. meanwhile average hourly wages rose to $24.99. that's about 2.1% year-over-year, so while the steady pace of jobs creation may bolster the case to hike rates in september, that would be the first rate hike since 2006, they

may hold on. >> patricia sabga, thank you. a spirited debate for the republican party. donald trump drawing boos and cheers from the audience. and his fellow con tenders. >> raise your hand now if you won't make that pledge tonight. [ cheers and applause ] >> mr. trump. >> if i'm the nominee i will pledge i will not run as an independent, and i am discussing it with everybody, but i'm talking about a lot of leverage. we want to win, and we will win. but i want to win as the republican. i want to run as the republican nominee. >> as michael shure reports with ten of the top g.o.p. contenders in attendance, the crowded stage made it difficult for anyone to shine. >> reporter: and that began

donald trump's career as a debater. it was that kind of a crowd. it was like a sports crowd here for that debate. a lot of the issues that people thought they would hear talked about, may not have been talked about because the focus was on donald trump, how to debate against him. huckabee said he wasn't concerned about dealing with trump but staying out of his way, getting his own issues out there. and he did do that, and he got into a little bit of a tangle with chris christy in talking about education. but it was really donald trump's night. people looking at him to see if he was going to be his brash self or if he was going to get into issues, which he had not done until last night.

he said at one point that the crowd was really against him didn't seem to bother him. i spoke to one of the people that worked with tromp, he said that donald didn't even prepare that much for the debate, maybe a couple of hours. earlier in the evening there was the predebate, the 5:00 debate for the seven candidates that didn't make it on to the main stage. john kasick did make it on to the main stage. staying off of that lackluster stage was a big bonus for john kasick who handled himself well in the debate, trying to set himself apart a little bit. carly was the one candidate to step away from the crowd. she pointedly went after hillary clinton. may have had some success there, gotten her name into the press and social media a little bit more than they thought. but this will be remembered as the debate where donald trump had his coming out party.

it may not get better than last night for donald trump, but that was what he wanted to do. he wanted to say we need to fix the party. and he said it. he certainly was able to get through his first debate and the show goes on. >> michael shure reporting. on the other side of the aisle, the democratic national committee revealed its presidential debate schedule. they will start in nevada. the u.s. government suspects russia is behind a cyber attack against a pentagon computer network. they targeted the joint chiefs unclassified email system. the defense department responded by taking the network off line for ten days. the united nations security council has passed a resolution

aimed at identifying who is responsible for chemical weapons attacks in syria. russia and the u.s. drafted the agreement earlier this week. russia has previously vetoes security council resolutions that could implication the syrian regime. after the vote, the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. urged the parties to work together to find a political solution to the conflict. >> this sends a clear and powerful message to all involved. the joint investigative mechanism will identify you if you gas people. it bares repeating as well that we need to bring the same unity to urgently find a political solution to the syrian crisis. u.n. fact minding missions have confirmed the use of chemical weapons in syria. the most deadly attack killed anywhere from 300 to 1,000

people. china is bracing for a typhoon to make landfall today. it has 100-mile an hour plus winds is headed their way. nicole how bad will this be? >> well, we are expecting it to hit taiwan and then afterwards china. winds right now have downgraded just slightly, that's good news, but still 120 miles an hour, so as i said that's what he would consider as a hurricane a category 3. and you can see that barrelling down on taiwan. a little bit of dry air moving in, and that's part of what is allowing this to diminish somewhat. taiwan has mountains up to 13,000 feet high and about 24 million people, so it's mountainous terrain and heavy rainfall along with the wind,

and the wind field extends about 60 miles across, that means you can definitely have flooding potential, mud slides, landslides. it will weaken more before it heads into china. >> okay. we'll have to watch that. nicole thank you. angry profests from the familiar list of the victims of mh370. they are demanding answers after two weeks of sometimes contradictory briefings from authorities. >> reporter: the police have allowed them to protest outside as they have done on many other occasions, the reason for that is these demonstrations are not directed against the government here in china, they are aimed squarely at malaysian airlines and also the malaysian government. what is fuelling their anger at the moment is this. it is the mixed messages emerging from the inquiry. on thursday, malaysia's prime

minister said that the wing part found on reunion island was conclusive evidence that it came from mh370, but french prosecutors within a day were saying, well, they weren't so sure about that. their judgment was not so categorical. the language was much more reserved. and the families are saying that is proof once more of an attempt by the airline of a cover up. they have accused the airline of lying, really from day one. and simply do not believe a word they are being told by malaysian airlines. there is simply a break down in trust, and because of that, they are really hostage to all of the various theories swirling on the internet. one year after the shooting of michael brown, we go back to ferguson, missouri. how the town has changed since then. and new surveillance footage may provide clues into the largest unsolved art heist in history.
