1:07 pm
there are still substantial differences between the two sides. i do not think that one should minimize those differences. and they have very, very strong constituents that they have to report to him it is not just a deal, but matter of making a deal that they can sell to their constituencies. mark: it seems like american-style politics, but it is, in fact, something that mr. tsipras has been trying to do since he was named prime minister earlier this year. thrown red meat to his constituency. if the football reality setting in that greece may not get what it wants? thomas: i don't think it has. i think there are two different elements out there that a basically irreconcilable. stay inreeks want to the euros. that is a very strong sentiment. by the same token, a similar number do not want to see the austerity continued. ofo not see any real sign
1:08 pm
let-up by the troika on the kinds of things they are insisting upon. is thathe things tsipras needs to go back to his constituencies and say that he got some relief on the 175% of gdp debt burden. the trick is not willing to do anything on that until afterwards. until after they have made a deal on these basic elements on the table right now. betty: mehul, back to you. i love the story. why does the price of milk and pasta determined the fate of greece? wayl: if you look at the these deals have been cast, there are big important issues being discussed. austerity and national tensions. if you look at these negotiations, there's a lot of specificity on simple
1:09 pm
things like a movie ticket or whether on processed food needs to be taxed the same way. that is the devil in the details holding up a lot of these things. mr. tsipras needs to come back to greece and talk to his constituents and say you may have to pay a little bit more for milk or for pasta. that is how he is going to have to sell the thing -- the daily life of greece after this deal is signed. formuch it will cost medicine is a really important part of that. mehul just talked about the daily reality in greece. what will that reality look like if a deal is not reached? thomas: i do not think we fully know, mark. the uncertainty has scenarios that range from catastrophic to we can muddle through. i do not think that the negotiators should take a
1:10 pm
chance on avoiding the catastrophic. the irony is that they are basically arguing over somewhere around a 2 billion euro difference. he could have many, many multiples of that 2 billion euro that would be the spinoff losses and side effects, after effects they do not make a deal. mark: mr. ambassador, we have a little less than a minute left. i must ask. the husband conversation during the course of the week on what would happen if there is a run on the banks in greece. there have been unofficial capital controls of about $3400 per person that you could take out of your account. are we heading down that road? world the beat capital controls on the banks -- will there be capital controls on the tanks in greece? the ecb.hat is up to once it cuts off its emergency line of credit to the banks, you will see. you have already seen substantial with rawls from the banks.

1:14 pm
i'm betty liu here with mark crumpton. mark: let's go straight to julie hyman with a look at the markets. smp turning lower. julie: we have seen a decent amount of volatility. we have the rebalancing today that could cause some swings in the markets. that is the russell indices which track about 3000 stocks. they are now making the changes, their annual changes to the indices. any investors who attract those indices should benchmark against those indices have to also make those adjustments. that can cause a little bit of swing in the market. -- the cbs and you down s&p 500 down a quarter of a percent. they do not have a specific catalyst to point the finger at that change. we do have a sense of a catalyst for the next talk i'm looking at today and that is herbalife. earlier today, the "new york post" came out today and said the ceo talked about cleaning up the company, saying he did see practices that look like
1:15 pm
pyramid. why is this relevant? ackman at pershing square capital has been conducting what is a multi-your campaign to basically bring the company down. he has a big short against herbalife stock. he says that they do indeed employ pyramid tactics. in a few moments, pershing square came out with a letter, calling for her life to release this video publicly. the shares have been down. they are not down much lower on that letter, but again, it looks like ackman putting a fine point on that report on the "new york post coast but this morning post" thisnew york on morning. has been going down as the stock has had its run. take a look as well as palo alto , one of its competitors and how they have done for the year today. we have seen both of the stocks soar this you could fire i up
1:16 pm
, both handily outperforming the market. one of the out performers in today's session is this push pull phenomenon is deere. it looks like it is gaining on corn prices. we have seen a rebound after a long decline for corn prices good a little bit of a relief rally for deere, up 2.8%. betty: thank you, julie hyman. now to the top stories crossing the terminal at this hour. the pakistani taliban issuing a warning that it will target the main electrical company if it does not end power outages. that is where it intends he waits has killed people in the past week. the chronic power cuts during the heat wave has caused public protests. temperatures began to drop yesterday. the former ministers of iran, and france are leading the way to talk about iran's nuclear

1:18 pm
thank you for your time today. talk about the societal applications of what is going on this week, particularly how it concerns the supreme court rulings. josh: it is a sign of how quickly social issues are shifting and american culture. it is not something you necessarily see in terms of laws being passed by congress. not a lot has happened legislatively in a pocket was -- and obama second term. but this week, the affordable care act really and the legalization of gay marriage in the surprising movement of race and the confederate flag in the wake of that tragic south carolina massacre. they make this probably this the most consequential week of obama second term and point the way forward for how quickly the country, and by extension, washington is want to have to continue to involve on a lot of these issues. betty: washington and also political parties, right, josh?
1:19 pm
what does this mean for the conservative arm of the republican party, the tea party conservatives that we had heard so much about and were so influential in the congressional and presidential elections? for a while, we thought it might be heading to the brink. what does it mean when we see these decisions by the supreme court? josh: it is a tough week if you are a tea party conservative because everything is not going your way. the interesting places to look at the reaction of the 13 republican presidential candidates, which range from hey, listen, the court has weighed in. it is the law of the land. i don't like it, but we will move on. the other extreme candidates like ted cruz say i'm not going to stand for it and introduce legislation for states to undo the rights to gay marriage if they want to. it still looks like it will be a flashpoint in our politics. i think it will be more contained in the republicans feared than it is going to be a national issue because the court
1:20 pm
has weighed in and said this is now the law of the land. mark: is this a question of where it seems like the politicians in washington might have to catch up with the rest of society as opposed to use league other way around? josh: i think that is exactly right. i think marriage is a wonderful illustration of that. t is hard to wrap your mind around this, but barack obama, elite clinton, and joe biden were against gay marriage when they ran for president in 2008. now we are and every democrat is for. it is legal. republicans are still adjusting. the is an issue where momentum and the real passion within grassroots was in the culture. washington politicians were followers, not leaders. i think that may be true on other issues, social issues like marijuana. who knows what else is coming down the pipeline? and guns, right, josh?
1:21 pm
the outcome was that this was a hate crime and was because of the confederate like it is a lot of the issues that liberals want tackle. gun control -- we still have not addressed that in this country . josh: that is a notable exception to social issues. obama took a shot at that after new town killings had bipartisan support in the senate for gun control. one of the striking things that you see in terms of looking at the political fallout in the wake of the trials and shootings is that there really has not been a renewed national issue for gun control. i think it is an area where politicians understand that given the passions among gun rights supporters that there really is not a path to passing something through the republican controlled congress and getting

1:33 pm
so what does this say about the strength of islamic extremists? let's bring in john walcott from washington, d.c., the head of our diplomacy and reporting team. fred burton is the vice president of intelligence at current member of the state department. thank you very much for joining us. fred, let me start with you. exactly what more do we know? we are hearing it seems these attacks were not coordinated but they very similar hallmarks. fred: they certainly do. you have to keep in mind there is brilliant in some facility and what the call for action by the islamic state last month, in essence what they have done, is sent word out to support what we call here the leaderless resistance. meaning there is not a command and control element at play. it is to act locally.
1:34 pm
those who are sympathizers are carrying out these kinds of attacks in support of the islamic state cause to take action. john, what do we know about the reactions so far from the u.s. intelligence community? john: so far, it looks like secretary chertoff was right earlier, that there is inspiration but not coordination. what the intelligence community is doing now is looking for any coordination, going over huge databanks of e-mails, online postings, and so on, to all, if any of the attackers were in cooperation with isis elements in syria or iraq, whether anyone travel to syria or iraq to be trained there, or whether this was simply a matter of people literature, being frustrated by their situations in france or tunisia or
1:35 pm
wherever, and taking it upon themselves to conduct the attacks. mark: fred, why today, why now? day: this is an important with the call for prayer throughout the middle east, with the call for action by the 23rd, theate on june intelligence community was expecting some sort of action to take place. case wase facts and in the suicide attack inside the mosque in kuwait. that appears to be a pretty good-sized bomb inside the mosque. it takes a good amount of planning to make sure that you are capable of cooking up a suicide vest like we saw. with the numbers that we saw killed and injured, that is a little better planned attack than what we saw elsewhere. mark: speaking of planned attacks, in kuwait, they have not been the target of attacks for years now. all of a sudden, this. that is that it
1:36 pm
was not coined but it was a shiite mosque. there have been attacks, some appear to be initiated by is elements in saudi arabia and kuwait against shiite targets. one of the big fault lines in that part of the world is between the two main sects of islam, sunni, and shia. fred, can we infer something from the fact that a lot of foreign tourists were the targets of these attacks today? without a doubt, especially when you look at the shooting at the beach and hotel in tunisia. this is an effort to disrupt the economy of the nation and it is not a very cockaded attack. i think that is the scary part you look at what we saw today,
1:37 pm
meaning it does not take a lot of planning, does not take a lot of people. an just need a person with ak-47 to walk up and start shooting people and it is extraordinarily difficult to prevent that from occurring. guess, continuing on with what fred said, what was the message that these extremists were sending to the international community? i think the underlying message is we are on the move and you cannot stop us. at the same time these attacks has been onlace, is move in syria and iraq, so there are two different types of operations going on here. one is more or less conventional military operations in the area they have declared as their caliphate. the other attacks are much farther flung, much farther from the borders of the caliphate. ,he underlying message is
1:38 pm
simply put, that we are on the move and you are not able to stop us. mark: fred, what message does this send to saudi arabia and u.s. allies in the region, will they now be emboldened to step not, perhaps,nd rely on the u.s. to take the fight to the militants? fred: it is hard to say. after many years at the state department and my time here, it is hard to predict when a trip wires will be to cause additional actions. i do know that when you are looking at this from an intelligence problem, especially liked what we saw in france, there is simply too many islamic state sympathizers and supporters for the french security service to survey of. and for that matter, the european service. it would not surprise me to see additional similar attacks like that we have seen today. does that surveillance increase because we are trying
1:39 pm
to find people might be inside of these groups who can give us adequate information? without a doubt. you need that human intelligence or you can never prevent these attacks from occurring. that has always been the achilles heel. you have to have human assets, sources inside these organizations to tell you what they are up to. mark: fred burton is the vice president of intelligence at joining, john walcott us from washington. thank you. in athens, greece, and anti-austerity rally is underway as the negotiators are trying to reach some sort of deal, some sort of compromise. the story with greece, as it has been the last several years, negotiators are going down to the wire. the prime minister alexis tsipras meeting with some of the international creditors from the international monetary fund, european central bank.
