frustration. we need someone that can fix the problems. that cause their anger and frustration. and that's jeb bush. >> i always said in fact i would tell him, why don't you use the name bush. use the name bush. >> donald trump, still leading the polls was always out campaigning, repeating his costic criticism of jeb bush, who insists his brother kept america safe, before and after 9/11. >> the world trade center came down during the reign of george bush. came down. so during the ronald ragan if you remember the library debate, he mentions about how we were safe. >> . >> while he was building a

third bush on his way. >> randall pinkston, al jazeera, south carolina. >> a black drape is holding over justice supreme court chair in the bench in front of it. the courtroom doors have also been draped in black, he was found dead on saturday in a ranch in west texas. >> iran is dashing hopes of a deal between the world's biggest oil producer saying that they cannot stop prices of crude oil from sliding. teheran coming out today, saying it won't join a deal this morning. but only if other top producers do as well. besides oil minister saying the goal is to keep the market stable. >> we don't want guy races in prices. we don't want production and supply.

we want to meet demand, and we want a stable oil price. >> they have already agreed to the pack, this is a rare deal. the first between opec members and a nonopec one. russia in 15 years. the correspondent first the markets were ya, they were up on this, really excited then it went down, now they are climbing back up, what is going on? >> so they looked at the con tin junky, which is basically that other oil producers would have to agree to freeze their output, and frankly that's a con tunji that you could put a sanker tanker through that side ways. >> it is a big constituency, because iran has already announced it's intention to gear up the oil production. basically iran wants to recapture the market share they lost. and now the seances are lifted they are going to be pumping oil. iraq is also very loathe to freeze it's production, because it wants to boost

production. iraq desperately needs that. so that allob is one reason why you saw oil prices then give up. the other is because they are just talking about a freeze. a freeze. how likely is it that they will stick to this deal. >> saudi arabia are in different sides in the war in syria. so you have competing agendas right there. there's a lot of disinstruction that goes on there. and really what we have been seeing you have take a look at the big question, is why are they maiming this announcement now. and really all oil producing nations are hurting because of these very very low prices but some are hurting more than others. this was largely led by venezuela, venezuela does not

have a huge accusation to weather these prices. their economy is a deep crisis. so they need to see the price of oil go up. but saudi arabia has $650 billion to get through these oil prices. and rush are sha as well, has sizable reserves. so both of them have a accusation. but real cushion. they both have to diversity, and they haven't done a very good job of diversitying their economy. >> a lot of soul searching needs to go on. what. >> u.s. shale oil producers would love to see prices go up, because their production costs are higher than saudi arabias and russia's. they's why these low oil prices have being putting pressure on oil producers. we saw a lot go bankrupt this year, and this year many as a third can go bankrupt.

but we need to underscore, that the u.s. is not as heavily depend on it's oil industry as saudi arabia, or russia. russia gets over half of the budget revenues from oil production, saudi arabia 90%, venezuela also deeply depend. so these countries that have announced this deal, what they want to do is put a floor under prices, many the long run, they have to diversity their economies. >> certainly telling them that for sure. president obama is in california today for the second and time day of the summit. the meeting are priefing to be more symbolic than anything else. rob reynold has more. president obama welcomed the ten government leaders to the deluxe sunny lands golf resort in the california dessert. the white house portrays it as a re, laked get tot, yet it is heavy with symbolism.

you are going to be able to just go ahead book some space at an abb or at a hotel and go on vacation for a week. what this does mean, is that if you want to go to cuba, to take part either doing official -- or sanctioned business work, or engang in a people to people exchange, working with cuban citizens directly on any number of projects. you aren't going to have to arrange a special charter. you will be able to book a commercial flight, whether it's on united or delta, or american, or any of the u.s. based carriers that get approval to fly into havana, or one of nine other cities and that should make it easier for them to visit the island. again, there's still that restriction on tourism. you have to go for an officially sanctioned purpose, and the treasury department has 12 categories under which u.s. citizens are allows to visit.
