disciplinarian in chief. they want more of a role in the upbringing of their kids and seeing changing attitudes about that, as well. >> kelly wallace, thanks so much. we love the modern-day dad. thanks so much. happy father's day to all the modern-day dads out there. by the way, research by the white house shows more than 1 in 5 children under 5 years old with a working mom has a dad as a primary caregiver these days. all right. hello again, everyone. i'm fredericka whitfield. the stories topping our news this hour. this just in, the u.s. state department is beefing up security at the embassy in baghdad. and it plans to relocate some of the staff. but the state department said most people will stay. and the embassy will be fully

equipped to carry out the national security mission amid reports of escalating violence in iraq. today, militant group the islamic state of iraq and syria gained control of two villages in the d iyala province. isis leaving a trail of violence and some of the most disturbing claims yet. they say they took a group of iraqi soldiers prisoner and executed them and disturbing pictures online. it shows people that isis claimed are iraqi forces dressed as civilians being held as prisoners in truck and led by men with guns to their death. cnn cannot confirm the authenticity of the pictures and the claims. very disturbing. senior international correspondent nic robertson live for us in baghdad.

what do we know about the latest moves by isis? >> reporter: they still seem to be on the advance, fredericka, towards baghdad. that's the stated goal. the iraqi army was told to pull out of the massi ivive baquba b last night and within an hour isis moved in. they're around the diyala province. it's just north of baghdad. we've seen this group isis advance very quickly through the country. one of the reasons is because they're sunnis and these are sunni areas and the people there support them. that's why they have done it. diyala is different with a greater mix. sunni, shia, kurdish. and the fighting is slowing down. but nevertheless, that's where isis right now. we don't know where these images of the executed iraqi soldiers were taken. definitely appears to be iraq.

very brutal as these pictures are, they're going to really stoke up the sectarian tensions and anger at the moment when people here in baghdad, cheers here in the city, see what's happened. see what the sunni militants have done and make them very angry. people here say they just want peace and say there's no difference between sunni and shia but the reality is there are extremists out there on both sides and they look like they're about to get into a really big fight right now. >> nic, it is rather unsettling to hear, you know, the state department feels that it has to beef up the security at the u.s. embassy and some personnel might be moved. i guess comforting depending on the point of view you come from and a plan there and says perhaps that there is an imminent fear or danger. what about the airport? is it going to be difficult for people if they have to evacuate

baghdad to be able to leave by way of the baghdad airport? will there be some other means of which people are asked to evacuate? >> reporter: yeah. i think everyone here an certainly at the embassies they have their contingency plans and for most the principle contingency plan is to fly staff out through the baghdad international airport. that is a target of isis. we have been told that by saudi intelligence services, told that by the tribesmen fighting with these fighters, that that's one of their goals. this is an airport that's been -- and the flights have have been coming in and out over the years resilient to attacks. i think -- and most of the pim the airport's been functioning. there's barely been a time when it's been closed. but a few well-placed shells might convince airlines to stop flying and, therefore, the airport would become -- wouldn't be viable as an escape route.

there are plenty of other options. out through the south of the country is an option. the south is stable. why? because it's mostly the shia population. they don't feel under threat so much and relatively easy to drive out but that airport is a target and a target because the insurgents know that will put real political pressure on the politicians here in baghdad and that's their aim here, fredericka. >> of course, we know that aircraft carrier "the usa george h.w. bush" in the persian gulf and they're used in emergency evacuations so unclear whether that will also be another route. n ic robertson, thanks so much. in the next hour, our michael holmes will be talking to the former iraq prime minister ayad allawi. tune in for that. israel's military is conducting an operation to find three missing teenagers. they disappeared late last week

hamas warning of serious consequences if the boys are not returned safely. >> and this attack should surprise no one because hamas makes no secret of its agenda. hamas is committed to the destruction of israel ato carrying out terrorist attacks against israeli civilians, including children. >> reporter: neither hamas or any other credible organization has made any public claim of responsibility. today, the israeli army continues to search for any clues on the whereabouts of the missing teens. more than 100 palestinians have also been detained by israeli soldiers. the search effort is coordinated with palestinian police. the kidnappings continue to test the already contentious relationship between the israeli government and palestinian president mahmoud abbas who recently formed a new government of unity including support of

hamas. >> instead of abiding by his international obligation, to disarm hamas, president abbas has chosen to make hamas his partner. israel holds the palestinian authority and president abbas responsible for any attacks against israel that emanate from palestinian-controlled territory. >> reporter: for the parents of the missing they just want to see their sons come home. >> we trust that they will be with us here and we'll hug them soon. >> thanks to ben wedeman for that report. the u.s. state department today strongly condemning the kidnapping of the israeli teenagers and demanding immediate release. secretary of state john kerry called it, quote, a despicable terrorist attack. back here at home, many celebrating the life of

oh, a big shake-up on capitol hill. thursday house republicans scheduled the choose a new majority leader. all because a tea party challenger, a little-known college professor named david bratt unseated eric cantor in the virginia primary. cantor, the conservative house minority leader was the second

most powerful congressman in the country. senator rand paul, a tea party favorite, says it's time to expabd the party's tent. >> if you want a republican to be the next president of the united states, we are going to have to be a bigger, better, bolder party. there's a big debate going on, though. some say for us to be bigger we have to dilute our message. more moderate to get more electoral votes. i couldn't disagree more. in fact, i think the core of our message, we could be even more bold, more honest, more forthright. >> all right. so let's talk about it. joining me is jenny beth martin, coordinator of the tea party patriots and lenny mcallister. jenny beth to you first, does

this defeat for cantor indicate that there is a, i guess, a newer kind of movement by the tea party? what happened? >> well, the message to the tea spaert talking about for the last five years, one of personal and economic freedom. a debt free future. that's the message of dave bratt and won on and he won because the grass roots tea party activists in the district got out and talked about the issues with fellow voters. >> so lenny, we heard from senator graham earlier today who won his race in south carolina, who said, you know what? he had good ground game and he didn't say it directly but is it if case that maybe cantor lost touch, took too much for granted maybe? >> i think that is exactly what transpired. that's part of where the tea party element came from in the first place five years ago, they felt detached from liberals and

democrats and republicans and all about getting back to the grass roots and making sure people spoke with the people on the ground and represented them in a very real, tangible and ongoing way. eric cantor forgot about that. that's why he lost. >> when you hear rand paul say the answer is not to be more moderate. you know, instead, it's about being as conservative as you can be. is this a new, i guess, a reconfiguration of the republican party now, now that the tea party is digging in the heels and shows it has might? >> well, what we care about is making sure that we have an economic future where we have a debt free country, where we're paying down our debt and more opportunity in this country. and a lot of times the republicans stray from that message and they start doing things like talking about fixing obama care rather than repealing it and restoring health carefree

dom. time to stick to the message, the message. don't waver from them and you can win. >> and so, whatever happened to a more unified republican party, lenny? i mean, this seemed to have come from the last election, that was the lesson. seems like the memory is short. >> well, it's because we oftentimes get into the fights among conservatives. we need relatible, digestible conservatism. i think two often than not the conservative wing and fellow conservatives forget that the ivory tower conservatism is just as bad as ivory tower liberalism. if it's something that the average and swing voter cannot relate to, we cannot win and cannot legislate and can't lead america out of the depression we are in right now from an economic standpoint and morale standpoint and we have to be more united and don't just get caught up in the philosophy of

conservatism but applicable across the diversity of america. >> another big test of tea party party is a week away when long time incumbent thad cochran faces a run-off election. what could happen? >> what is going on in mississippi right now is the grassroots are going door to door for phone calls and making sure of how chris mcdaniel is going to fight for them and represents mississippi values and is not out of touch with the people of mississippi. i've been on the ground in mississippi and going back tomorrow and seeing chris mcdaniel win. >> all right. lenny, how do you see it? >> i think you will see a change in mississippi but the hopeful thing with cochran is to come in as one of 100 to bring about a new direction in the senate that will get america back on track. there are certainly things in the tea party message that make sense in regards of being

fiscally responsible and getting the debt down and if we lead in the type of way we have seen previously, more divisive, it doesn't matter who we have taking the senate seat from mississippi. we have the same old same old and that's not progress for america. >> lenny, jenny beth, thank you to both of you. >> thank you. >> god bless. thank you, fred. former president george h.w. bush turning 90 this past week and what he did, jumping out of a plane again. i think eighth time now. but family and friends and colleagues are now reminiscing about bush 41's political career in a film airing right here tonight. we have a preview of "41 on 41." but first, if the u.s., less than 2% of teenage moms earn a college diploma before they turn 30. this week's cnn hero first became a mom at the age of 19 and now she's helping other teen parents get through college.

all right. people who know former president george h.w. bush best are paying tribute just as he reaches a huge milestone. he just turned 90 on thursday. among those praising him is his son, jeb. watch. >> a lot of people don't remember when my dad was elected president, the democrats controlled the congress. and so, working in a bipartisan way was essential to get things

done. and from the inauguration all the way through his four years as president, in spite of an increasing harshness of the political debate, he did what he could to build consensus. >> i think george bush understood and still understands that the way we judge our presidents is on the basis of what elements of their program they get passed through the congress. and implemented into law. >> the american people await action. they didn't send us to here to bcker. they asked us to rise above the merely partisan. >> it really is amazing in retrospect now to see how successful george bush was in getting major leg passed. >> let's work together to do the will of the people. >> if you go back and look at the four years that george bush was president, you will see more substantive, comprehensive bipartisan pieces of legislation

passed than perhaps any four years in a long time. >> he got a clean air act, the civil rights act of 1990. he worked hard to get the americans with disabilities act passed. people do remember the budget agreement and that budget agreement was much more significant than people realize. it forced the congress that worked with his successor bill clinton to come up with balanced budgets which really made a huge difference in the economy. >> wow. that's an excerpt from documentary airing on cnn tonight at 9:00 eastern and pacific called "41 on 41." another bush insider featured in the film joining us on the phone, bush 41, rather's, chief of staff john sununu. one of the last voices you heard there. welcome back to us. so, you know, you are quick to help tout the things that president bush helped get under way. the disabilities act, for one.

overall, how do you see the former president's legacy? what do you want people to recall, remember about him that perhaps they've overlooked? >> well, i think it's beginning to happen. people are understanding that in a very quiet way this man-made a huge difference in the lives of not only americans but people around the world and i think his legacy is in the context of a phrase that he likes to use, mission completed. he certainly -- people at the time you should that he allowed for and stimulated a worldwide transition with the fall of the soviet union in a way that actually looks so easy that people thought it would have happened automatically but that's not true. he had to nurture it through and as the last few clips you've shown said, he passed a tremendous amount of significant domestic legislation with a congress that was dominated by

the democrats who had absolute control so this was a president that didn't brag about what he did but he performed as well as any post-war president we have ever had. >> i think i remember you saying it was president bush's mother who taught him never to boast. don't brag about yourself. >> well, there's something that i think made a huge impression on the president and it in a way defined his style which was a style of leading by example. he was probably the easiest president that any chief of staff has ever had to work for and i appreciated that. he would let you know clearly what he wanted done. he trusted in you to go out and do it. and you can come back and clarify things with him whenever you wanted. he never in the conversations he never, never made you feel like

he was trying to dominate the process. he was just trying to guide you through it. i think when he got results, he just sat back and let people understand something had been done without him bragging about it. >> do you feel like people have gotten to know the president in a different way as much more affable post-presidency than they ever got to see while he was in office? >> well, i think so. you know, he had a great sense of humor. he loved to tell a joke. although as allen simpson will point out on "41 on 41" he often forgot the punchlines but he had a great sense of humor and enjoyed life and living life is what, you know, certainly prompted him to take the parachute jump last thursday on his 90th birthday. >> what is that, like the eighth time? amazing. >> yeah. and, you know, i saw him -- i went up and watched the jump and

saw him right afterwards and he was just bubbling. and that's his personality. he's an optimist. he's a go forward kind of a guy. he's a sharing kind of a guy. he's a solid leader. and as he once called himself, quiet man and i think that's a great description. >> wow. all right. john sununu, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> we'll be watching your words, listening to your words and many other friends and former colleagues of the president on "41 on 41" tonight 9:00 eastern and pacific right here on cnn. go big names joining forces to fight illegal wildlife poaching. what prince william and soccer superstar david beckham are doing to help save elephants, rhinos and other animals from extinction. advice than i knew what to do with. what i needed was information i could trust on how to take care of me and my baby. luckily, unitedhealthcare has a simple program

against the threats to personnel overseas. >> reporter: the u.s. has some 5,300 personnel in iraq, about 2,000 of them americans at the embassy in baghdad and kons lates in basra in the south and in the north. moving so many people in a war zone will be an extremely difficult task. unlike the evacuation of the u.s. embassy in saigon in 1975, where american negotiated safe passage for 1,200 americans, here the u.s. must be able to secure airfields with the u.s. military no longer on the ground. and iraqi forces fleeing as extremists advance. the militants are seizing airfields and have surface to air missiles which threaten pilots in an evacuation. the largest of its kind, ten times larger than any u.s. embassy in the world, the embassy in baghdad sits along the tigres river and cost taxpayers nearly a billion dollars to build and designed for a massive u.s. long-term

presence. >> the embassy is very, very heavily fortified. we have extremely good security personnel and a lot of them. the embassy is set up to be self sufficient and the embassy can take a lot and it has. >> reporter: the 104-acre compound is bigger than the vatican with 22 buildings, pardon mes and olympic-sized swimming pool. less than 100 marines along with diplomat security agents and contractors guard the complex but that's a far cry from the thousands of troops that once patrolled the secure green zone. officials say for now, the americans will stand put. but acknowledge security could deteriorate quickly. >> you have to consider what would happen if not that the city were overwhelmed by 800 or 1,200 or 1,500 isil but cut the roads, the lines of communication, the lines of supply into the city and

essentially besiege it. >> reporter: officials say the embassy has plenty of food and waters to hunker down and ride the crisis out if the situation on the ground starts to deteriorate. the u.s. would start with a drawdown of nonessential personnel on commercial airlines while the airports are still open and only move to a full vaerks if things really get out of hand. elise labott, cnn, the state department. all right. straight ahead, many fans of "orange is the new black" watched every episode of the new season and it was just rolled out. but is there such a thing as orange overload? coming up, the science behind tv bing watching. is it bad for your health? co: sometimes you don't know you need a hotel room until you're sure you do. bartender: thanks, captain obvious. co: which is why i put the hotels.com mobile app on my mobile phone. hotels.com i don't need it right now.
